FYI there's already a law in Texas that does this. State agencies cannot do business with companies that boycott Israel, oil and gas companies, or gun industry and rights groups
State agencies cannot do business with companies that boycott
Missorui's law says businesses cannot do business with other businesses that boycott yatta yatta. That's a bit of a departure from Texas's law (which is also braindead).
Hahahahahaahahahaahahahahahahaha
Land of the Free, folks
Is this the small Government that Republicans always talk about?
What happened to their "free market" ideals?
What's the outrage here, that a State Government can make rules on who they will or won't do business with? That's all this Bill is looking to do. If a company wants to do business with the State of Missouri then they can't economically boycott other companies in a handful of industries that Conservatives care about. If a company doesn't do business with the State of Missouri then this law won't apply.
Politically motivated rules controlling Government spending exist at all levels from Federal down through Municipal. Money is power and Politicians are always willing to flex.
Private companies have freedom of association. The government is not allowed to punish them for using it.
The government is not allowed to punish them for using it.
They shouldn't but they do anyway and most people don't care until it goes against their politics.
