Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

National commission to study antisemitism

If enacted, this would set up a commission in Congress to study acts of antisemitism. It would define antisemitism as hatred toward Jews, including acts against people, property, community groups, and religious sites. The commission would investigate recent antisemitism and review government evidence without disrupting active cases. It would meet monthly after its first meeting, which could not be earlier than 15 days after enactment. It would send a report with findings and recommendations to the President and Congress within 1 year, then have 120 days to finish work and end.

How members are picked and paid

If enacted, the commission would have eight members: two chosen by each House and Senate leader. No more than four may be from one party, and all must be named within 10 days of enactment. The Speaker and House minority leader would name the chair and vice chair. Members could be paid up to the daily rate for Executive Schedule Level III and get travel per diem. Full‑time federal employees and Members of Congress would not get extra pay for serving.

Subpoenas and staffing for the commission

If enacted, the commission could hire temporary experts and contractors when Congress provides funding. Agencies could lend staff, and the chair and vice chair could jointly request information from agencies. The commission could issue subpoenas with the chair and vice chair’s agreement or a majority vote, and a court could enforce them. Witnesses could not refuse to testify based on self‑incrimination, but compelled testimony could not be used to prosecute them, except for perjury.
