Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act. (a) The State of Missouri has adopted the “Anti-discrimination Against Israel Act,” Section 34.600, Revised Statutes of Missouri, which provides that “[a] public entity shall not enter into a contract with a company to acquire or dispose of services, supplies, information technology, or construction unless the contract includes a written certification that the company is not currently engaged in and shall not, for the duration of the contract, engage in a boycott of goods or services from the State of Israel; companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by, licensed by, or organized under the laws of the State of Israel; or persons or entities doing business in the State of Israel.” The Anti-discrimination Against Israel Act provides that any contract that fails to comply with the Anti-discrimination Against Israel Act’s provisions shall be void as against public policy. (b) The District and the Developer hereby certify and agree that, to the extent the Anti- discrimination Against Israel Act is applicable to this Agreement, the District and Developer are not currently engaged in and shall not, for the duration of this Agreement, engage in a boycott of goods or services from the State of Israel, companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by, licensed by or organized under the laws of the State of Israel or persons or entities doing business with the State of Israel, in all respects within the meaning of the Anti-discrimination Against Israel Act. (c) The foregoing certification shall not be deemed an admission or agreement that the Anti- discrimination Against Israel Act is applicable to this Agreement but the foregoing certification is provided if the Anti-discrimination Against Israel Act is applicable. If the Anti-discrimination Against Israel Act is initially deemed or treated as applicable to this Agreement, but it is subsequently determined not to apply to this Agreement for any reason including by reason of applicable federal law, including without limitation, 50 U.S.C. Section 4607, the repeal or amendment of the Anti-discrimination Against Israel Act or any ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the unenforceability or invalidity of the Anti-discrimination Against Israel Act, then the foregoing certification shall cease and not exist.
