The bill, introduced by Representatives Abdullahi and Rader, seeks to repeal section 9.76 of the Revised Code. This section currently mandates that state contracts include a provision in which the contracting company must declare that it is not boycotting any jurisdiction with which Ohio maintains open trade, specifically mentioning Israel, and that it will not engage in such boycotting during the contract period.

By eliminating this requirement, the bill aims to remove restrictions on companies that may choose to boycott certain jurisdictions for various reasons. The repeal signifies a shift in the state's approach to contract stipulations related to trade and political considerations.
