What this bill would do
The Antisemitism Response and Prevention Act of 2025 aims to establish an Office of the National Coordinator to Counter Antisemitism within the Department of Justice. The bill seeks to coordinate federal efforts to combat antisemitism through evidence-based approaches and meaningful input from Jewish communities. It implements new requirements for higher education institutions to designate a Title VI coordinator to handle civil rights compliance. Additionally, the legislation creates a Hate Crime Reporting Center within the FBI to track and publish hate crime data. The act also modifies the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to prohibit certain political and social conditions on recipients. Finally, it mandates various reports to Congress regarding extremist ideologies and domestic terrorism.
