This bill amends Section 1201 of Title 25 of the Oklahoma Statutes to include a new definition of antisemitism, as defined by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). The bill specifies that antisemitism is a perception of Jews that can manifest as hatred towards them, affecting both Jewish and non-Jewish individuals, their property, and community institutions. The bill adopts the IHRA's working definition and examples of antisemitism for legal purposes. Additionally, it clarifies the definitions of discriminatory practices, national origin, and the term "person" within the context of the law.

The amendments also include the deletion of certain existing definitions, specifically those related to the interpretation of equality between sexes and the definition of discriminatory practices. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
