Senate expands federal hate crimes law to cover more groups
The Senate approved expanding federal hate crimes protections to include gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability. The measure would ease federal stepping in when state or local authorities cannot or will not prosecute such crimes, and would provide grants to assist jurisdictions. The bill attaches to a defense spending package and reflects a long effort dating back to Kennedy's 1960s-era legislation.
