HR 3016 United States House · 118th Congress

IGO Anti-Boycott Act

This bill amends the 2018 Anti-Boycott Act to include boycotts by international governmental organizations (IGOs), such as UN agencies, alongside boycotts by foreign countries. It expands existing requirements for U.S. entities to report boycotts they comply with, now covering IGO-initiated boycotts as well. The change directly affects U.S. businesses and organizations operating internationally who might face pressure from IGOs to participate in boycotts. Key provisions update legal definitions in the law by inserting "or international governmental organization" in relevant sections without creating new penalties.
