Relative to including certain crimes against police officers as hate crimes. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the existing Massachusetts law to include crimes against police officers as hate crimes. Specifically, it would insert the language "or actual or perceived employment as a police officer" after the words "sexual orientation prejudice" in the existing law. This change would expand the definition of hate crimes to encompass offenses targeting individuals due to their status as police officers.
