AI Summary
This bill amends the South Carolina Code of Laws to add an article on Antisemitism. It provides a definition of antisemitism, which includes the definition adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance and contemporary examples of antisemitism, but excludes criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country. The bill states that in reviewing, investigating, or deciding whether there has been a violation of any relevant policy, law, or regulation prohibiting discriminatory acts, the State shall consider the definition of antisemitism set forth in the law for determining whether the alleged act was discriminatory, and a court or other relevant authority shall apply the same legal standard as applicable to like claims of discrimination arising under the laws of the state protecting civil rights.
