BILL NUMBER: S8017 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the education law, in relation to certain student organizations which are ineligible for funding PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL : This bill would prohibit student organizations that participate in hate-speech, including advocating for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) of Israel and American allied nations from receiving public funding. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Presently, section 139 - H of the state finance law prohibits the state of New York from participating in an international boycott against American allied nations. Section 6-114 of the Administrative code for the City of New York, provides a similar restriction from New York City. This bill would extend these provisions, by adding a new section 355 of the state education law, a new section 6206 of the education law, and section 6306 of the education law to prohibit the state from providing public funding to student organizations that promote or engage in activities to boycott American allied nations.
