Adopts State definition of Islamophobia for certain civil and criminal purposes.

New Jersey's A3684 adopts a legal definition of Islamophobia for use in civil and criminal cases, directly affecting public officials, law enforcement, and courts. The bill defines Islamophobia as racism targeting Muslim identity or culture, listing specific examples like stereotyping, exclusion, verbal abuse, and false conspiracy claims about Muslims. It requires officials to consider this definition when investigating discrimination or hate crimes motivated by anti-Muslim bias. The definition explicitly excludes legitimate criticism of Muslim-majority countries and clarifies the law does not override First Amendment protections or existing anti-discrimination statutes.
