Cleared committee, waiting for its first floor vote

A committee approved it and it is on the calendar of the chamber it started in.

This is further than most bills get, and still no promise of a vote: the calendar is a queue, and the majority leadership decides what is called. A bill can sit here until the Congress ends.

What this bill would do

The bill is known as the "No Antisemitism in Education Act of 2026." It requires local educational agencies and institutions of higher education that receive Federal financial assistance to treat discrimination motivated by antisemitism as vigorously as other forms of discrimination prohibited by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The legislation mandates that federal departments, agencies, and educational institutions use a specific definition of antisemitism when reviewing or investigating violations. It also provides for enforcement through existing mechanisms available under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Additionally, the bill includes rules of construction stating it does not diminish First Amendment rights or preempt State antidiscrimination laws.
