SB179 revises discrimination laws to include antisemitism in investigations by the Nevada Equal Rights Commission.

SB179 amends Nevada law to require the Nevada Equal Rights Commission to consider antisemitism when investigating discrimination in housing, employment, or public accommodations. The bill defines antisemitism as a perception of Jewish people that may be expressed as hatred, including both rhetorical and physical manifestations directed at Jewish individuals, communities, or property. This addition aims to ensure that investigations into discriminatory practices also address instances motivated by antisemitism.
