Mike Lawler

Antisemitism Awareness Act with Josh Gottheimer

Matches stated record claim

What they say

Lawler named the Antisemitism Awareness Act among legislation he had led with Josh Gottheimer.

What the record shows ·

Lawler introduced H.R. 1007 in 2025, with Gottheimer as an original cosponsor. It proposes to consider the specified IHRA definition and examples in covered Title VI assessments involving antisemitic intent, while preserving First Amendment rights and existing discrimination standards. Its complete captured history shows introduction and referral; the current bill remains in committee. The distinct predecessor H.R. 6090 in the 118th Congress passed the House 320-91 on May 1, 2024 and then reached the Senate; that is a different bill and Congress.

Limit: The comparison verifies sponsorship, joint introduction and proposed content, not enactment or effectiveness. Prior House passage of H.R. 6090 is not House passage of the current H.R. 1007. Purpose language about confronting antisemitism does not establish its elimination. Debate wording is paraphrased from native captions.
