House Bill 1274 passed on Monday with a vote of 141-19, with six abstaining. The resolution, which was sponsored by six lawmakers, in part requires state agencies and departments to consider the IHRA definition "when determining whether an alleged act was motivated by discriminatory antisemitic intent."
The IHRA working definition of antisemitism states: "Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities."
