Full Title An Act To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to prohibit an institution that participates in a nonexpressive commercial boycott of Israel from being eligible for certain funds under that Act, to require an institution that participates in certain programs under that Act to certify that students are not unreasonably obstructed from participating in academic programs in Israel, and for other purposes.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The bill Auchincloss supported in the lookback window would condition higher-education funding on anti-boycott and Israel academic-access certifications. It passed the House but the record cited is an engrossed House bill, so enactment was still unresolved as of the evidence date.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): A major complicating record: shortly before the lookback period, Auchincloss voted for a failed amendment to cut Israel-related funding in the FY2027 national-security appropriations bill.
