This bill aims to address antisemitism within the state of Oklahoma by establishing a new legal framework that includes definitions and guidelines for recognizing and combating antisemitic discrimination. It introduces a new section to the Oklahoma Statutes that acknowledges the persistent issue of antisemitism in society, highlighting the need for state officials and institutions to protect citizens from hate and bigotry. The bill endorses the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of antisemitism, which will serve as a reference for identifying contemporary manifestations of antisemitism, including specific examples of anti-Israel acts that may be considered discriminatory.

Additionally, the bill mandates that all state departments and agencies recognize antisemitism as evidence of discriminatory intent in relation to existing laws prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin. It clarifies that the provisions of this section do not infringe upon First Amendment rights or conflict with other discrimination laws, nor does it alter the evidentiary requirements for determining actionable discrimination. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
