Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Annual federal antisemitism threat reports
The bill would require the FBI, DHS, and NCTC to produce joint domestic and transnational threat assessments on antisemitic violent extremism within 180 days and then every year for 10 years. Each assessment would review ideologies, violent activity, online amplification (including bots and foreign influence), and threat levels. Classified annexes could go to certain congressional committees, and declassified versions would be posted publicly without personally identifiable information.
More security grants for houses of worship
The bill would authorize $1.0 billion per year for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program for fiscal years 2027 through 2031 and increase certain allocation shares from 5% to 10%. FEMA would have to post funding notices within 90 days of appropriations, issue guidance within 120 days, review eligible equipment annually, and try to process reimbursements within 90 days of submission when documentation is complete. The Attorney General would also be allowed to award grants to state and local law enforcement to boost patrols and security for at-risk religious institutions in fiscal years 2027–2031.
Stronger campus antisemitism protections
This bill would require the Education Department to name an antisemitism coordinator within 90 days and run a student awareness campaign updated every year. Schools that get federal education money would need at least one Title VI coordinator, yearly training, and a posted grievance process with timelines and notice. The Department would set up a Federal Title VI Clearinghouse within 180 days to publish safety and best practices for K–12 and colleges. The bill would also change campus crime bias labels to match FBI categories and require schools to keep Title VI records for 7 years.
Transparency rules for big online platforms
If enacted, large online platforms with at least 50 million U.S. monthly users would have to file a detailed transparency report with the FTC within one year and every 180 days after. Reports would describe moderation tools, counts of antisemitic or identity-based incidents, actions taken, amplification by recommendation systems, and details about removed or suspended accounts. The FTC would make violations an unfair or deceptive practice and issue implementing rules. The Commerce Department would also produce an annual report linking online antisemitic content to offline violence and recommend policy and platform changes.
