LC 4179 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revise discrimination laws

This bill updates Montana's anti-discrimination laws by formally recognizing antisemitism as a protected category under state civil rights protections. It incorporates the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's working definition of antisemitism into state law, requiring state agencies to use this definition when reviewing discrimination complaints and investigating hate crimes. The legislation amends existing statutes to ensure antisemitism is treated as discrimination based on race, religion, or national origin, while explicitly stating that these changes do not alter existing legal standards or infringe on free speech rights.
