What’s in it

This bill relates to hate crimes and provides penalties.8(3)(4). The bill provides that “hate crime” means any public offense when committed against a person or a person’s property because of the person’s race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, age, or disability, or the person’s association with a person of a certain race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, age, or disability. A hate crime shall be classified and punished as an offense one degree higher than the underlying offense.
