Alabama passed an anti-boycott law in 2016 prohibiting state contracts with entities that boycott Israel. SB 81 requires contractors to provide a written certification that they are not and will not engage in boycotts for the duration of the contract. The law excludes contracts worth less than $15,000 or contractors who bid at least 20% less than other bidders. Alabama also passed a joint resolution (SJR 6) in 2016, which condemns boycotts for Palestinian rights and pledges support for Israel.

The Christian Zionist anti-Muslim Proclaiming Justice to the Nations led the lobbying effort, calling for the Alabama legislation to be a model for other states.
