The Florida Senate has unanimously passed legislation aimed at defining antisemitism within Florida Statutes, a move spearheaded by Sen. Lori Berman, Rep. Mike Gottlieb, and Rep. Randy Fine. This legislative effort comes in response to a noted increase in acts against Jewish people, with the bill's sponsor warning about the potential for such acts to fuel extremism against other groups. After undergoing changes, the bill is set for another vote in the House. The unanimous Senate approval underscores the state's commitment to addressing the issue of antisemitism.
