On Foreign Policy: Defends barring state funds to businesses boycotting Israel

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has joined a coalition of states defending an Arkansas law that prevents state subsidies of boycotts or other discriminatory actions against Israel. Kansas passed a similar law in 2017, House Bill 2409, which like Arkansas's act requires state contractors to certify that they are not engaged in boycotts, sanctions or discriminatory actions against Israel. Schmidt defended a similar challenge brought by the ACLU in Kansas. Source: Kansas Attorney General Press release, "Anti-discrimination" Apr 12, 2021
