HB 618 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Define antisemitism for specified purposes

HB 618 amends state law to include a specific definition of antisemitism for use in court investigations, state agency proceedings, and employee anti-bias training. The bill mandates that courts apply the same legal standards to claims of antisemitic discrimination as they do to other forms of discrimination covered by state civil rights laws. By clarifying these definitions and procedures, the legislation aims to provide a consistent framework for addressing bias against Jewish individuals within the state's legal and administrative systems.
