House Introduces Bipartisan Jewish American Security Act

Sponsors say the package would sharply increase federal security funding, strengthen campus civil-rights enforcement, and require social platforms to disclose how they handle antisemitic content as they seek congressional approval this year.

Overview

  • House sponsors Rep. Dan Goldman and Rep. Mike Lawler formally introduced the Jewish American Security Act on Wednesday with 28 bipartisan co-sponsors and held a Capitol Hill press event to unveil the proposal.
  • The bill would raise funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to about $1 billion and expand what grants can pay for, including security personnel and other protections for synagogues, schools, and Jewish institutions.
  • It would tighten enforcement of Title VI on college campuses by directing the Education Department to appoint an antisemitism coordinator and create clearer accountability for institutions that fail to protect Jewish students.
  • The measure would force social media platforms to provide new transparency about how they identify and address antisemitic content and require regular reporting to federal authorities.
  • Major Jewish organizations across religious and ideological lines endorsed the bill, sponsors linked it to a similar Senate package introduced last month, and backers say the measure still needs committee review and floor votes before it can become law.
