This bill establishes a comprehensive federal strategy to combat the rising tide of antisemitism in the United States, recognizing it as a serious and growing danger. It highlights the unique characteristics of antisemitism, including the use of conspiracy theories, blaming Jewish individuals for Israeli government policies, and the prevalence of Holocaust denial. Recent data from the FBI and Anti-Defamation League underscore a dramatic increase in anti-Jewish hate crimes and incidents, particularly following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, necessitating a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach. To protect Jewish students, the bill mandates the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights to offer annual trainings to federal aid recipients on Title VI responsibilities and conduct a public awareness campaign on student rights. It requires the Secretary of Education to issue annual written reminders about Title VI obligations regarding antisemitism and to designate an antisemitism coordinator . This coordinator will advise the Secretary, oversee anti-antisemitism efforts, provide technical assistance, and review discrimination complaints. Educational institutions receiving federal funds must designate a Title VI coordinator , adopt a nondiscrimination policy , and implement a grievance procedure for discrimination reports. They are also required to post policies online, provide annual notice of grievance procedures, and maintain detailed records of discrimination allegations and actions taken. Furthermore, the bill amends the Clery Act to require disaggregation of campus crime data based on bias categories and establishes a Federal Title VI Clearinghouse for best practices in safety and security at educational institutions. The legislation significantly enhances the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) , increasing authorized funding to $1 billion annually for fiscal years 2027-2031 and raising the percentage of funds for management and administration. It directs the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to ensure sufficient personnel, streamline application processes, increase technical assistance, and expedite grant disbursements. FEMA must also issue guidance prohibiting arbitrary limits on funds used for contracted security personnel and regularly review the Eligible Equipment List. The bill authorizes the Attorney General to award grants to State and local law enforcement agencies to enhance security for at-risk religious institutions and address rising hate crimes. Additionally, it mandates the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and National Counterterrorism Center to jointly produce annual threat assessments for both antisemitic violent domestic extremism and antisemitic transnational violent extremism. These assessments will analyze ideologies, violent conduct, online activity, and the overall threat posed to the United States. To address online antisemitism, the bill requires certain online platforms to submit and publicly publish semi-annual transparency reports detailing their content moderation practices and efforts against antisemitic content. These reports must include information on safety mechanisms, tools used, data shared with law enforcement, policy changes, and statistics on violative content and account suspensions. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is empowered to enforce these transparency requirements, treating violations as unfair or deceptive acts. Finally, the Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security, must submit annual reports to Congress, including trend data on online antisemitic content linked to offline violence and offering recommendations for preventing such violence.
