LGBT Inclusive Hate Crimes Bill Passes the
U.S. House |
|
|
WASHINGTON, DC -- By a
vote of 237-180, the U.S. House of Representatives
passed H.R. 1592 after an hour of debate. We now
await action in the Senate on an identical bill
(S.1105). The hate crimes bill would allow the
federal government to provide assistance to local
law enforcement in the investigation and
prosecution of bias crimes. In addition to
continuing coverage of categories already in the
federal law, the bill would add the protected
categories of gender identity, sexual orientation,
gender and disability.
