Reconstitutes the West Virginia Commission on Holocaust Education with 13 voting members, including ex officio state officials, Jewish community representatives, educators with Holocaust education training, and public members appointed by the Governor and Legislature

Expands membership to address the declining availability of Holocaust survivors and second-generation witnesses, adding representatives from national Jewish organizations and Holocaust education institutions

Authorizes the commission to appoint up to two additional voting members (requiring two-thirds vote) and non-voting advisory members including students, scholars, and community representatives

Requires instructional materials to align with nationally recognized Holocaust education standards from institutions like the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and Yad Vashem

Mandates the commission address contemporary antisemitism, referencing the October 7, 2023 attack in Israel, while ensuring Holocaust education remains the sole primary purpose and other historical atrocities serve only as supplemental context
