Bill Summary

Amending Titles 18 (Crimes and Offenses), 42 (Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) and 53 (Municipalities Generally) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in assault, further providing for ethnic intimidation; in particular rights and immunities, further providing for civil rights violations; and, in employees, further providing for definitions and providing for annual officer training on hate-based intimidation.

AI Summary

This bill amends Pennsylvania's criminal laws related to "hate-based intimidation", which refers to crimes motivated by hatred towards an individual's race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, ancestry, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, or autism spectrum disorder. The key provisions of the bill are: 1) It expands the definition of "ethnic intimidation" to "hate-based intimidation" and broadens the list of protected characteristics. 2) It provides victims of hate-based intimidation the right to seek civil remedies, including damages, injunctions, and attorney's fees. 3) It requires annual training for law enforcement officers on identifying, addressing, reporting, and properly recording incidents of hate-based intimidation. The bill aims to strengthen Pennsylvania's legal framework for addressing and deterring crimes motivated by bias or hatred towards protected groups.
