From Grok:
Florida’s primary “antisemitism bill” is HB 187 (2024), enacted as Chapter 2024-262 and codified in Florida Statute § 1.015. It adopts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism into state law for general application.
This is the bill most commonly referenced in recent discussions (including those involving Gov. Ron DeSantis). Florida had earlier measures on the topic, but HB 187 standardized the definition statewide.
Key Provisions of § 1.015, F.S.Legislative intent: Adopt the IHRA working definition “to assist in the monitoring and reporting of antisemitic hate crimes and discrimination and to make residents aware of and to combat such incidents in this state.”Definition:
“antisemitism” means a certain perception of Jewish individuals which may be expressed as hatred toward such individuals. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish and non-Jewish individuals and their property and toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.
