Bill Summary
Relative to hate-crime protections for victims targeted due to gender. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to advance hate-crime protections for victims who are targeted due to their gender. Specifically, it proposes to amend the existing law (Chapter 265, Section 39 of the General Laws) by inserting the word "gender" after "national origin" in the list of protected characteristics. This change would expand the law's coverage to include crimes motivated by the victim's gender, in addition to the existing protections for crimes based on race, color, religion, national origin, and other factors.
