Antidiscrimination Amendments

HB 549 amends Utah's anti-discrimination laws to explicitly include antisemitism as a protected characteristic. It defines antisemitism using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's 2016 standard and requires all businesses and public accommodations to provide equal service without discrimination based on antisemitism. The bill also adds antisemitism as a factor for enhanced criminal penalties when a crime is motivated by antisemitism, requiring courts to consider this in sentencing. These changes apply to businesses, public spaces, and criminal cases across Utah, without appropriating new funds.
