Jewish American Security Act

Key Points

• The bill nearly triples funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to $1 billion per year from fiscal years 2027 through 2031, split evenly between urban and non-urban areas. This money helps synagogues, schools, and other nonprofits pay for security guards, cameras, and physical upgrades to protect against attacks.
• Schools and colleges receiving federal money would be required to designate a Title VI coordinator, create formal grievance procedures for discrimination complaints, and keep records of all discrimination reports for seven years. These requirements apply to K-12 schools and higher education institutions alike.
• The Department of Education would appoint an antisemitism coordinator within 90 days to oversee federal efforts, conduct biannual complaint reviews, and develop plans to resolve complaints that have been pending for more than 180 days.
• Social media platforms with at least 50 million U.S. monthly users would have to publish transparency reports every 180 days detailing how they handle antisemitic content, including how much they removed and how their algorithms may be spreading it. The FTC would enforce these requirements.
• The FBI, DHS, and the National Counterterrorism Center would jointly produce annual threat assessments on both domestic and transnational antisemitic violent extremism for 10 years, with declassified versions made available to the public.
