Defines anti-Semitism

This bill amends the state education law to require the Department of Education to consider a specific definition of anti-Semitism when investigating complaints. It mandates that the department use the definition provided by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, which includes both the original text and contemporary examples of anti-Semitic behavior. The change directly affects how the department evaluates potential violations of state laws and federal civil rights statutes related to race, color, or national origin within educational settings. By incorporating this external definition, the legislation aims to provide a clearer standard for identifying anti-Semitism in official reviews and decisions.
