AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to expand the offense of "ethnic intimidation" (now called "hate-based intimidation") to include additional protected characteristics, such as sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disabilities. It also enhances civil remedies for individuals who suffer injury, property damage, or emotional distress as a result of hate-based intimidation or institutional vandalism, including allowing for increased damages and attorney's fees. The bill is intended to further prohibit civil rights violations and provide additional legal recourse for victims of hate-based crimes in Pennsylvania.
