What this bill would do

This bill aims to ramp up federal efforts to fight antisemitism and protect the Jewish community across the United States. It sets up an antisemitism coordinator within the Department of Education and requires schools receiving federal funds to follow specific civil rights guidelines and grievance procedures. The legislation also boosts funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to help secure community spaces and religious institutions. Furthermore, it mandates joint annual threat assessments from federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies regarding domestic and transnational violent extremism. Finally, the bill requires large online platforms to publish regular transparency reports detailing their content moderation practices regarding antisemitic material.
