Michigan legislator, Rep. Noah Arbit, introduced a proposal to ban antisemitism in the state's employment, housing, and education sectors.
The proposed Michigan Antisemitism Protection Act, HB 4548, would amend the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to include bans on antisemitism.
The amendment defines antisemitism as 'hatred of Jews' and prohibits false allegations and stereotypes about Jewish individuals or the Jewish community.
The bill aims to address the rise of antisemitism globally, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and outlines protections for Jewish individuals in various contexts, including the workplace.
