House Bill 800 aims to address discrimination in educational institutions in Tennessee, particularly focusing on antisemitism. The bill prohibits discrimination based on race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, disability, religion, or marital status in public education programs and employment. It mandates that public institutions treat harassment or discrimination motivated by antisemitic intent in the same manner as discrimination based on race. The bill also requires the integration of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism into institutional codes of conduct and encourages the incorporation of antisemitism awareness training and Jewish American Heritage curricula.

Additionally, the bill establishes a "Title VI coordinator" within the Department of Education and at public institutions of higher education to monitor antisemitic discrimination and harassment. These coordinators are responsible for investigating complaints and reporting findings to the U.S. Department of Education and Justice if necessary. The bill clarifies that criticism of Israel, when comparable to criticism of other countries, is not considered antisemitic and ensures that the act does not infringe upon First Amendment rights or conflict with existing discrimination laws.
