Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Chapter 1 of Title 50 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to general provisions relative to state government, so as to require state agencies to consider antisemitism when determining whether an alleged act was motivated by discriminatory intent; to provide for limitations and construction; to provide for definitions; to provide for an effective date; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Georgia's state law to require all state agencies to consider antisemitism as evidence of discriminatory intent when enforcing laws that prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin. Antisemitism is defined using the definition adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) and the federal Executive Order 13899. The bill also includes provisions to ensure that the law does not infringe on First Amendment rights or alter the evidentiary requirements for determining actionable discrimination.
