What’s in it
AI summary People who commit violent crimes because of someone's sexual orientation or gender identity cannot claim they were justified in their actions. This rule applies if the violence was a reaction to a nonviolent sexual advance or the discovery of a person's sex or gender identity. It covers serious offenses that involve physical or emotional harm to others.1
Read the official explanation
This bill specifies that a defense of justification is not available when a person who is the subject of a nonviolent sexual advance commits a violent crime upon another person as the result of that sexual advance or solely as a result of the person’s discovery of, knowledge about, or potential disclosure of the victim’s sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Code section 915.10 defines “violent crime” as a forcible felony, as defined in Code section 702.11, and includes any other felony or aggravated misdemeanor which involved the actual or threatened infliction of physical or emotional injury on one or more persons.
