This bill establishes the Commission to Study Acts of Antisemitism in the United States within the legislative branch. Its primary purpose is to investigate the facts and causes of antisemitism in the present day, particularly in response to a documented rise in incidents. The Commission is tasked with examining and evaluating evidence from federal, state, and local governments regarding antisemitic attacks, while ensuring its work does not interfere with ongoing law enforcement activities. Ultimately, it will report its findings, conclusions, and recommendations for appropriate legislative or administrative actions to both the President and Congress. The Commission will comprise 8 members, with appointments made by leadership from both the House and Senate, ensuring bipartisan representation. These members are empowered to hold hearings, take testimony, receive evidence, and obtain official data from federal agencies. Crucially, the Commission also possesses subpoena power to compel witness attendance and evidence production. A final report detailing its findings and recommendations is due to the President and Congress within one year of the bill's enactment, after which the Commission will terminate within 120 days. The bill provides a specific definition for 'antisemitism' to guide the Commission's work.
