Law would stiffen penalties and expand definitions while enabling victims to sue offenders for civil damages. Legislature urges immediate signing by Gov. Branstad, stressing enforcement and prosecution to deter bias. Debate notes potential broader use of civil action in other crimes.
Sidney Schanberg argues white America must confront racial bias and take concrete steps to bridge the gulf between blacks and whites.
