Governor Glenn Youngkin Praises Passage of Bill to Combat Antisemitism

Statement

Governor Glenn Youngkin today praised the General Assembly for passing House Bill 1606 patroned by Delegate Anne Ferrell Tata, which was passed with wide bipartisan support. This law adopts the non-legally binding Working Definition of Antisemitism adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) on May 26, 2016.

"Hate has no place in the Commonwealth and I'm proud to take continued steps to fight antisemitism," said Governor Glenn Youngkin. "I am truly inspired by the devotion shown to transform what started as an idea into a law that will change how we combat antisemitism in the Commonwealth. I want to thank everyone who poured their heart and soul into seeing this bill pass."
