Kansas legislators try to save law against boycotting Israel
Kansas legislators are trying to salvage a law prohibiting state contractors from boycotting Israel, after a federal judge blocked its enforcement, advancing a bill to narrow the ban so it no longer would apply to individuals or small contracts.
The state House approved the measure, 93-30, sending it to the Senate. Enacting the bill’s changes would resolve the federal lawsuit that led to it being put on hold, according to an attorney involved, but lawmakers in both parties said they believe the narrower law still would violate free-speech rights.
