The bill amends Chapter 28-5 of the General Laws, titled "Fair Employment Practices," by introducing a new section, 28-5-7.5, which specifically addresses antisemitic discrimination. It defines "antisemitism" in accordance with the working definition adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) and incorporates it into the framework for evaluating discriminatory practices based on race, religion, and country of ancestral origin. The bill mandates that government entities consider this definition when reviewing or investigating allegations of discrimination, ensuring that claims of antisemitism are treated with the same legal standards as other civil rights discrimination claims.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the definition of antisemitism will be utilized in training state personnel on discrimination and anti-bias measures. Importantly, it clarifies that the provisions of this section will not infringe upon First Amendment rights or conflict with existing federal or state discrimination laws. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
