SB 991
Oklahoma adopts a statutory definition of anti-Semitism to identify and address discrimination against Jewish people in civil rights enforcement and institutional contexts.
SB 991 adopts a specific definition of anti-Semitism in Oklahoma law, establishing it as a framework for identifying and addressing discrimination against Jewish people. The bill specifies purposes for applying this definition in civil rights contexts and educational settings. It became law on May 6, 2025, following gubernatorial approval.
Defining anti-Semitism in statute creates a legal standard that Oklahoma institutions—schools, employers, housing providers—can use to identify and address discrimination. This provides clarity for enforcement of existing anti-discrimination laws and sends a normative message about protected groups. The definition's specific language directly affects what conduct qualifies as illegal discrimination.
