The Pennsylvania Senate has approved legislation with significant bipartisan support to prohibit state entities from boycotting or divesting from Israel. According to Sen. Ryan Aument (R-Lancaster), the bill, which passed by a vote of 41-7, would affect the PA Treasury’s Office, the State Employees’ Retirement System, the Public School Employees’ Retirement System, and the Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement System. Additionally, it would cut off state tax dollars from higher education institutions that engage in such actions against Israel.
