Senate overwhelmingly passes anti-Asian hate crimes bill
The Senate passed with a wide bipartisan majority Thursday a bill denouncing discrimination against Asian communities in the United States, and creating a new position at the Justice Department to expedite reviews of potential Covid-19-related hate crimes.
The vote was 94-1. The lone vote in opposition was from Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley.
The bill would also direct the departments of Justice and Health and Human Services to issue guidance raising awareness of hate crimes during the pandemic, and work with agencies to establish online reporting of them. It now goes to the House before being signed into law by President Joe Biden.

WASHINGTON, D.C. â By a vote of 94-1, the United States Senate passed a limited but symbolically important piece of legislation addressing hate crimes against Asian Americans on Thursday.
The legislation creates a new position within the Department of Justice to expedite reviews of hate crimes, especially ones involving the COVID-19 pandemic.
The legislation also helps provide resources to local police departments so they can handle allegations of a hate crime more efficiently.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Thursday that the bill is proof that the Senate can work to solve important issues and would tell bigots we re going after you.
