Official title: To direct the Attorney General to establish within the Department of Justice the Office of the National Coordinator to Counter Antisemitism, and for other purposes.
Introduced December 17, 2025 by Jerrold Lewis Nadler · Last progress December 17, 2025
The bill substantially increases federal resources, coordination, and transparency to prevent antisemitism and hate and to protect students and communities, at the cost of significant new federal and institutional spending, added administrative burdens, privacy risks, and potential disputes over free‑speech boundaries and agency flexibility.
Millions of students, schools, religious organizations, and community nonprofits gain sustained federal funding and program capacity (OCR civil‑rights funding, hate‑crime data funding, and higher grant authorizations) to prevent and respond to antisemitism and related hate.
Jewish communities, houses of worship, and at‑risk nonprofits get expanded security and preparedness resources and faster FEMA grant processing and outreach that improve physical safety and program access.
Students, faculty, and staff (especially Jewish students) receive stronger civil‑rights enforcement capacity and clearer campus complaint, notice, and compliance procedures to address discrimination and harassment under Title VI.
Taxpayers face sizable recurring costs from new authorizations and spending (OCR $280M/year, $50M/year for hate‑crime capacity, higher FEMA grant authorizations and outreach), increasing budgetary pressure or tradeoffs with other priorities.
Federal, state, and campus officials and nonprofit staffs will absorb substantial new administrative and reporting burdens (monthly/annual briefings, unredacted complaint files, staffing new offices) that may divert time from investigations and services.
Students, faculty, and campus communities risk chilling or contested expression because adopting a uniform antisemitism definition and enforcement standards creates disputes over when political speech becomes actionable harassment, likely prompting litigation and policy uncertainty.
Based on analysis of 10 sections of legislative text.
Creates DOJ and FBI coordinators, expands hate-crime reporting, boosts nonprofit security grants, and adds Title VI campus compliance and reporting requirements with multi‑year funding authorizations.
Creates new federal structures, reporting, funding, and school and nonprofit requirements to prevent, track, and respond to antisemitism and related hate crimes. It establishes an antisemitism coordinator office at DOJ, a Hate Crime Reporting Center at the FBI, expanded Nonprofit Security Grant Program authority at DHS/FEMA, new Department of Education Title VI compliance requirements for colleges, and recurring federal reporting on extremist activity and domestic terrorism. The bill authorizes multi-year funding for civil-rights enforcement, hate-crime data collection, nonprofit security grants, and public awareness campaigns; sets deadlines and staffing restrictions for new offices; requires expanded reporting and transparency; and instructs agencies to coordinate implementation with communities while guarding against misuse of antisemitism definitions for punitive purposes. Many provisions take effect 180 days after enactment and include recurring reporting requirements and multi-year authorizations through FY2032.
