Jewish American Security Act

Key Points

• The bill nearly triples annual funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program from $360 million to $1 billion per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. This money helps synagogues, religious schools, and other nonprofits pay for security guards, cameras, and building upgrades.
• Schools and colleges receiving federal education funding would need to designate a Title VI coordinator, adopt a formal nondiscrimination policy, and create a grievance process for reporting discrimination, including antisemitism. Records must be kept for seven years.
• The Department of Education must name an antisemitism coordinator within 90 days to oversee all federal efforts against antisemitism in schools, resolve complaint backlogs, and conduct annual effectiveness reviews for 10 years.
• Large social media platforms with at least 50 million U.S. monthly users would be required to publish transparency reports every six months detailing how they detect, remove, and limit antisemitic content. The FTC would enforce these requirements.
• The FBI, DHS, and National Counterterrorism Center would jointly produce annual threat assessments on both domestic and transnational antisemitic violent extremism for 10 years, with declassified versions made public.
