What changed in the latest version
694 added · 699 removedPlain-language change summary
The updated version of House Bill 2175 now includes stricter sentencing guidelines for crimes committed out of hostility toward a victim based on their identity. Specifically, the minimum and maximum sentences for certain felonies will increase by one to two years, rather than the previous three to five years. This change is important because it lowers the potential additional sentence for these offenses, while still maintaining a strong stance against hate crimes. The bill also clarifies that it does not infringe on constitutional rights, ensuring that free speech is protected.
