Ohio lawmakers pass SB 87, adopting IHRA’s antisemitism definition and expanding hate crime laws, sparking free speech debate.
Ohio lawmakers have advanced SB 87, which would adopt the IHRA’s definition of antisemitism for state investigations and expand hate crime laws to cover riots based on race, religion, or national origin.
The bill passed the Senate 27-4 on March 4 and now heads to the House for further consideration.
Supporters say it clarifies hate crime identification, while critics warn it may restrict free speech by linking criticism of Israel to antisemitism.
The debate highlights national tensions over balancing hate speech recognition with First Amendment rights.
