HB 1852 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Definitions and general provisions; discrimination; definitions; antisemitism; effective date.

HB 1852 amends Oklahoma's discrimination laws by formally adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism as the state's official standard. It updates key terms like "discriminatory practice" and expands the definition of "person" to include government entities and organizations. This bill directly affects all state agencies, employers, schools, and institutions covered by Oklahoma's anti-discrimination laws when addressing antisemitism. The law takes effect on November 1, 2025, and does not create new penalties or programs - only clarifies existing legal definitions.
