#11 - Verification not to Boycott Israel.  By executing this Agreement below, the Applicant verifies that the Applicant: (1) does not boycott Israel; and (2) will not boycott Israel during the term of
this Agreement. 

Why does this clause need to exist in order to help people affected by natural disasters? What is the purpose of this?

Now I can imagine the replies, they are going to say "Texas is a private district". :lol: You know when you question freedom of speech, they say "blah blah because its a private something blah blah blah".

They are referring to House Bill 89, which came into force on September 1. But Rep. Phil King, who authored the legislation, told NPR he was baffled about why it was being applied here.

"It's not uncommon when you've got brand-new legislation, particularly substantive legislation, for it to be misinterpreted or for there to be some confusion," King says. "And I think that's all that's going on here. I think it's just a simple misunderstanding by the city."

So, the author of the legislation thinks it's an error.

How the times have changed.  I have delved deeper into the BDS thing too, and that seems to get very interesting as to legislated support for Israel in the USA.
