State commission checks antisemitism in discrimination cases

The Nevada Equal Rights Commission must consider antisemitism when it investigates discrimination in housing, jobs, or public places. It uses the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition adopted May 26, 2016, and its examples. This applies when the Commission decides if the act was based on a person’s or group’s religious creed. The law does not create new claims or penalties; it guides how investigations are analyzed.
