Oklahoma HB1218 recommends using the IHRA definition of antisemitism for determining discriminatory acts.

Oklahoma HB1218 recommends using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism for determining discriminatory acts. This definition is used by various agencies and governments, including the federal government and European nations. The bill aims to increase awareness and understanding of contemporary anti-Jewish discrimination. It emphasizes that the definition is not exhaustive but provides useful examples. The bill also ensures that the definition does not alter evidentiary requirements or conflict with existing discrimination laws.
