This bill, the Khalid Jabara and Heather Heyer National Opposition to Hate, Assault, and Threats to Equality Act of 2021 (also known as the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act), aims to address the national problem of hate crimes. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. Providing grants to states and local governments to assist with implementing the National Incident-Based Reporting System and training employees to identify and classify hate crimes. 2. Requiring states and local governments that receive these grants to report hate crime data to the Attorney General through the Uniform Crime Reporting system, with some exceptions and extensions allowed. 3. Authorizing the Attorney General to make grants to states to create state-run hate crime reporting hotlines that direct individuals to law enforcement and local support services, while ensuring the confidentiality of personally identifiable information. 4. Allowing the Attorney General to make grants to eligible states and local governments to support law enforcement activities or crime reduction programs related to preventing, addressing, or responding to hate crimes, particularly in regard to reporting hate crimes through the Uniform Crime Reports program. 5. Requiring the Attorney General to collect and analyze the information provided by states and local governments on their hate crime-related activities and publish an annual report on the data and trends. 6. Allowing courts to order, as a condition of supervised release for a conviction under the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, that the defendant undertake educational classes or community service directly related to the community harmed by the offense.
