Key Points

  • The bill creates a new Office of the National Coordinator to Counter Antisemitism within the Department of Justice, headed by a non-political appointee serving a 4-year term. This coordinator would oversee federal strategy, ensure evidence-based approaches, and coordinate across more than 30 federal agencies.

    From policy text

    “Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall establish within the Department of Justice the Office of the National Coordinator to Counter Antisemitism”

  • The FBI would establish a Hate Crime Reporting Center with $50 million in annual funding (fiscal years 2027–2032). The center would track every hate crime in the U.S., run national awareness campaigns, monitor media and online platforms, and publish annual findings broken down by state and targeted group.

    From policy text

    “The mission of the HCRC shall be to strive to record, track, index, report, and publish data related to every hate crime committed in the United States.”

  • Colleges receiving federal funding would be required to designate a Title VI coordinator, run annual public awareness campaigns about civil rights protections, and submit annual reports on discrimination complaints — while explicitly distinguishing between prohibited harassment and protected political speech.

    From policy text

    “in carrying out this paragraph, take such steps as may be necessary to distinguish between discrimination and harassment prohibited by title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq.) and political expression protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution”

  • The Nonprofit Security Grant Program would be increased to $500 million per year for fiscal years 2027–2032, and the bill bars the government from tying these grants to an organization's positions on diversity, immigration, or political advocacy.
  • The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights would receive $280 million annually for fiscal years 2027–2032, and the bill requires any regional offices closed since January 20, 2025 to be reopened. It also prohibits moving or shutting down the office without explicit Congressional authorization.

    From policy text

    “no action shall be taken by the President, the Secretary of Education, or any officer of the Executive Branch to transfer the Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Education, as established under section 203 of the Department of Education Organization Act (20 U.S.C. 3413), from the Department of Education to any other agency, organization, or reporting structure, or to close or consolidate such Office, without express statutory authorization enacted after the date of enactment of this Act”

  • The bill includes a strong policy statement that criticism of Israeli government policies is protected First Amendment speech and does not constitute antisemitism, and it opposes using antisemitism definitions in punitive legal contexts like immigration enforcement or deportation.

    From policy text

    “criticism of Israeli government policies, when not motivated by or expressed through antisemitic tropes or discrimination against Jews, is a form of political speech protected by the First Amendment and does not constitute antisemitism”
