AI Summary
This bill, the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act, aims to address the national problem of hate crimes in several ways:
1. It establishes grants within the Department of Justice to help states and local governments improve their law enforcement activities and reporting of hate crime data to national systems.
2. It allows courts to order, as a penalty for violating federal hate crime statutes, that defendants participate in educational classes or community service related to the community harmed by their offense as part of their supervised release.
3. It requires states and priority local law enforcement agencies (those serving populations of at least 50,000) that receive grants to report hate crime data through the Uniform Crime Reports program, with some exceptions and extensions allowed.
4. It authorizes grants for states to create hate crime reporting hotlines that direct individuals to appropriate resources and protect their personal information.
The bill's goal is to improve the collection and reporting of hate crime data to better understand and address this national issue.
