Bill Summary
Establishes State definition of anti-Semitism; creates a public awareness campaign; and appropriates $100,000.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a state definition of anti-Semitism by adopting the definition used by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), which includes contemporary examples of anti-Semitism, and mandates that the State consider this definition when investigating discriminatory acts. It also clarifies that this definition does not infringe upon First Amendment rights or the right to criticize the Israeli government, nor does it conflict with existing anti-discrimination laws. Furthermore, the bill requires the Office of the Attorney General to create a public awareness campaign to promote bias crime reporting and the resources of the New Jersey Bias Crimes Reporting Unit, including community outreach and training, and appropriates $100,000 for this campaign.
