Summary

This bill would create and fund a coordinated federal effort to counter antisemitism by boosting civil rights enforcement, setting up dedicated DOJ and FBI roles, and requiring colleges to improve reporting and awareness around antisemitism while protecting free expression.

Show full summary
  • Colleges and students: Institutions would have to designate at least one Title VI coordinator, run an annual public awareness campaign, publish an annual report with contact and enforcement info, and clearly distinguish prohibited discrimination from protected political speech.
  • Education Department and civil rights enforcement: The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights would receive $280 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2032, must certify regional offices are open and staffed, and provide regular briefings and reports to Congress on Title VI complaints and outcomes.
  • Justice Department and law enforcement data: The bill would create a DOJ Office led by a nonpolitical National Coordinator to align federal antisemitism efforts and require an FBI Hate Crime Reporting Center with $50 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2032 to collect, publish, and publicize hate crime data.

*Authorizes about $330 million in new annual funding for fiscal years 2027–2032, increasing federal spending over that period.*

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

7 provisions identified: 6 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

More security grants for at-risk nonprofits

If enacted, the Nonprofit Security Grant Program would get higher authorized funding and new outreach rules. The bill would authorize $360 million per year for FY2023–FY2026 and $500 million per year for FY2027–FY2032. FEMA would run a multilingual outreach and technical-assistance campaign and the bill would authorize $25 million per year for that campaign in FY2027–FY2032. The bill also expands reporting on recipients and bars States and FEMA from imposing certain conditions on grant recipients.

New FBI hate-crime reporting center

If enacted, the FBI would create a Hate Crime Reporting Center inside its Civil Rights Unit. The center would be led by a Coordinator on a six-year term removable only for cause and staffed by nonpolitical appointees focused on HCRC duties. The HCRC would collect and publish state-level hate-crime counts within one year and every year after, run a multilingual national awareness campaign updated annually, monitor media and online platforms, and report to Congress on a regular schedule. The bill would authorize $50 million each year for FY2027–FY2032 to run the center.

Boosted civil-rights enforcement at schools

If enacted, the bill would give the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) $280 million a year for FY2027–FY2032. The Education Secretary would have to certify, starting 180 days after enactment and every 90 days, that regional OCR offices closed since Jan 20, 2025 are reopened and staffed. For one year starting 90 days after enactment, OCR would give monthly briefings to Congress on Title VI complaints with a written report 48 hours before each briefing. The bill would also stop the Administration from moving or closing OCR unless Congress passes a new law allowing it.

New DOJ antisemitism coordinator office

If enacted, the Attorney General would create an Office of the National Coordinator to Counter Antisemitism within 180 days. A National Coordinator would serve a four-year term and would not be a political appointee. The office would coordinate federal implementation of the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, review agency training and materials, work with diverse Jewish communities and civil-rights groups, and run a biennial review of federal efforts for 10 years.

Regular reports on domestic terrorism threats

If enacted, the Attorney General would send Congress an unclassified report on the domestic terrorism threat starting 180 days after enactment and every 90 days after that. The Attorney General and Homeland Security would also send an unclassified report, beginning 180 days after enactment and annually, on extremist ideas spreading in public institutions and law enforcement. Each report could include a classified annex.

New campus civil-rights coordinators required

If enacted, each college and university would have to name at least one employee to coordinate Title VI compliance and investigations. Schools would run an annual awareness campaign on campus and online, send yearly notice with the coordinator's contact information, and publish an annual report to the Secretary of Education (with a public version that can redact victim or minor details). Institutions must also take steps to distinguish prohibited discrimination from First Amendment-protected political speech.

Antisemitism definition and agency list

If enacted, the bill would define 'antisemitism' by citing a passage in the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism and would list many federal offices as 'relevant agencies.' The agency list includes the Departments of Justice, Education, Homeland Security, State, Defense, and dozens of other Federal entities. These definitions decide which agencies the bill's coordination, review, and reporting rules apply to.
