Senator Bill Weber recently discussed his proposed legislation, the Combating Campus Antisemitism bill. He highlighted the importance of addressing antisemitism in educational institutions and expressed hope that this bill would be a significant step towards that goal.

The senator from the 38th Senate District stated, "We must ensure that our campuses are safe and welcoming for all students. This includes taking a strong stand against antisemitism, which has been on the rise in recent years."

The proposed legislation aims to provide a comprehensive approach to combat antisemitism on college campuses. It seeks to establish clear guidelines for identifying antisemitic incidents and provides resources for institutions to address these issues effectively.

"We cannot ignore the increasing instances of antisemitism on our campuses," Senator Weber said. "This bill is designed to give colleges and universities the tools they need to identify and combat this form of hate."
