Surely someone will file a lawsuit against the state for this.New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has signed bipartisan-backed legislation that will punish groups that endorse a boycott of Israel in protest of its violations of Palestinian human rights.
[...]
It requires the New Jersey government to identify companies that support a boycott of Israel, raising fears that it would create a “blacklist” of institutions that back the growing Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, or BDS, movement.
Under the new law, the State Investment Council, which manages more than $80 billion in pension assets, is legally obligated to divest from these blacklisted companies.
[...]
“Now, the New Jersey government will be authorized to open investigations into people’s speech and beliefs to tell whether a company’s choice not to do business with Israel was based on political beliefs or other reasons, and to punish companies based on what they find.”

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
