About
The Taylor Force Act is a 2018 U.S. law that prohibits certain economic aid to the Palestinian Authority unless it ends payments, specifically stipends, to families of terrorists or attackers, aimed at curbing 'pay-to-slay' or 'pay-for-slay' incentives; the advocacy group EMET supported its passage.
