OK HB2243

Adopts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of antisemitism, adopted May 26, 2016, as the definition for use by Oklahoma state departments and agencies.

Requires all state departments and agencies to consider antisemitism as evidence of discriminatory intent when applying state laws that prohibit discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin or provide enhanced criminal penalties for hate crimes.

Explicitly protects First Amendment rights and does not alter evidentiary requirements for determining whether conduct constitutes actionable discrimination.

Clarifies that the law does not conflict with existing local, federal, or state discrimination laws and does not create enforceable rights against the state or its agencies.

Effective date: November 1, 2025.
