What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill, the Department of Justice must maintain a toll-free hotline for

persons to report hate crimes. “Hate crimes” are crimes in which the perpetrator

religion, color, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, or ancestry.
