What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "IGO Anti-Boycott Act," seeks to amend the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018. The primary goal is to expand the existing law to include international governmental organizations. It updates specific sections of the current law to ensure these organizations are treated similarly to foreign countries regarding boycotts. Additionally, the bill requires the President to submit an annual report to Congress. This report must include a list of offending entities and a description of their boycotts.
