Definitions
- Foreign gift disclosure statute: a state law that requires public colleges or universities to report or disclose gifts from, or contracts with, foreign sources, to a state body or to the public, including laws limited to designated foreign adversaries.
- Anti-BDS measure: a statute or governor's order that bars state contracts with companies boycotting Israel (contracts), requires state funds to divest from them (investments), or both. A measure counts only if its text names Israel or covers boycotts of a jurisdiction with which the state can enjoy open trade; general anti-boycott laws that name neither are not listed. Each summary says which wording the text uses.
- "None found in a statute search as of October 13, 2026" means a search of the state code and session laws on the official site found no such law on that date. Bills that were introduced but not enacted are not listed.
