The Jewish American Security Act establishes a comprehensive federal effort to combat antisemitism across education, community security, law enforcement, and online platforms. The bill commits the federal government to educating the public about Jewish American history and the Holocaust while coordinating a government-wide response through agencies, law enforcement, and community partners. In schools and colleges receiving federal funding, the bill requires designated antisemitism coordinators, mandatory nondiscrimination policies, grievance procedures for complaints, and crime statistics disaggregated by bias motivation. The bill significantly expands security funding for religious institutions by increasing the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to $1 billion annually through 2031 and authorizes grants to state and local police for enhanced security at houses of worship. Additionally, the bill requires the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and National Counterterrorism Center to jointly produce annual threat assessments on antisemitic extremism, mandates major online platforms to report to the FTC on their efforts to remove antisemitic content, and requires the Commerce Department to analyze connections between online antisemitism and real-world violence.
