Virginia Senate committee rejects hate crime expansion bill (FILE) (Source: WVIR) By Cierra Parks | Capital News Service | February 2, 2021 at 2:58 PM EST - Updated February 2 at 5:39 PM
RICHMOND, Va. - Legislators attempted to pass a bill that would expand the definition of a hate crime to include crimes against people based on perception, but opponents said the bill was too broad and could be misused.
The Senate Judiciary Committee passed the bill by for the year late last month. Four Democrats strayed from party lines to vote against the bill after much debate.
The current statute defines hate crime victims as those who are maliciously targeted based on race, religion, gender, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation or ethnicity. Legislators passed the legislation last year during the General Assembly session.
