Wyoming Legislative news
Wyoming has joined the fight against the Boycott, Divest and Sanction (BDS) campaign. On January 30, 2017, Delegate Nathan Winters introduced legislation for Wyoming (H.B. No. 0279) that would do two things:
-
Prohibit Wyoming government from contracting with companies that boycott Israel as specified; and
-
Enunciate an investment policy that would seek to avoid investing in companies that boycott Israel.
If voted into law, Wyoming would become the fifteenth state to have enacted anti-BDS legislation. The legislation had crucial active support from Senator Leland Christensen and was co-sponsored by six other Representatives and two other Senators. It is the result of the active involvement of many members of the Jackson community and greater Wyoming. The Bill will be considered by the House Travel, Recreation and Wildlife Committee on February 1, 2017. If you would like to read the bill see: HERE.
If you have any questions and/or would like to join in this effort, please feel free to contact Clifford Sobin HERE, a member of the Jackson Hole Jewish Community.
