AI Summary
This bill aims to include crimes against police officers under the existing hate crimes law in Massachusetts. Specifically, it proposes to amend the state's laws to add "actual or perceived employment as a police officer" as a protected category, alongside existing categories such as race, religion, and sexual orientation. This means that crimes against individuals based on their status as police officers would be considered hate crimes under the law, and subject to additional penalties.
