MODERATE
This bill was revised from a House Committee Substitute to a Perfected version, changing its focus from antisemitism and broad educational discrimination to specifically protecting belief-based student associations at public higher education institutions. The revised bill removes references to antisemitism and K-12 schools, replacing them with language that prohibits adverse actions against student groups based on their political, ideological, or religious nature.
Scope change
The bill's scope narrowed from covering all educational institutions (including K-12) and antisemitism to focusing exclusively on public institutions of higher learning and belief-based student associations.
SCOPE
Removed all references to antisemitism, the IHRA definition, and requirements to integrate antisemitism definitions into student codes of conduct.
Removed provisions requiring Jewish American heritage curriculum and protections specifically for Jewish students and employees.
DEFINITION
Added new definitions for 'adverse action', 'belief-based student association', 'benefit', and 'public institution of higher learning' to clarify the bill's application.
REQUIREMENT
Added a prohibition against public institutions taking adverse action against belief-based student associations based on their political, ideological, or religious nature.
Added an exception allowing adverse action if there is substantial evidence that the association's viewpoint would cause material disruption to the educational environment.
ENFORCEMENT
Added language allowing aggrieved student associations to assert violations as claims or defenses in judicial or administrative proceedings.
