This bill amends Section 1201 of Title 25 of the Oklahoma Statutes to include a definition of antisemitism, as established by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). The new legal language defines antisemitism as a perception of Jews that may manifest as hatred towards them, affecting both Jewish and non-Jewish individuals, their property, and community institutions. The bill also clarifies that Oklahoma adopts the IHRA's working definition and examples of antisemitism.
Additionally, the bill makes several adjustments to the numbering of definitions within the section, including the reclassification of "discriminatory practice" and "equal" in relation to sex. The effective date for this act is set for November 1, 2025.
