HR 529 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A Resolution encouraging all municipalities in this Commonwealth to prohibit and reject the adoption of any local ordinance that seeks to boycott, divest from or enforce prejudices against the allies of the United States and condemning the anti-Israel petition containing a proposal for a referendum that was filed with the Allegheny County Division of Elections by the No War Crimes on Our Dime organizing group.

This resolution encourages Pennsylvania municipalities to reject local laws that impose boycotts or divestment policies against allies of the United States. It specifically condemns a failed petition in Allegheny County that sought to ban public funding for businesses operating in Israel. The bill does not create new laws but serves as a formal statement urging local governments to avoid such measures and expressing support for Israel.
