Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb has vetoed a bill defining antisemitism and left the future of the bipartisan legislation uncertain.
FILE - Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb speaks at the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Jan. 8, 2024, in Indianapolis. Holcomb vetoed a bill that seeks to define antisemitism in state education code Monday, March 18, while simultaneously signing a proclamation condemning all forms of antisemitism. – Indiana Gov.
The disagreement between the chambers prompted the bill to go to conference committee, a body consisting of lawmakers from both chambers. The committee reached an agreement on the last day of the legislative session to add the IHRA attribution back to the bill but remove the clause with examples. The final version was approved in both chambers with bipartisan support.
Holcomb's support wasn't clear after its passage. Last week, he expressed concern that Indiana would be an “outlier” among other states thanks to the changes and said he wanted to ensure there is no “ambiguity” in Indiana law.
