Press Release of Representative Jerrold Nadler (942 words) |
 | Washington, DC -- Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) today called on the Republican leaders of the House of Representatives to resist their annual tradition of stripping a hate crimes provision from the Department of Defense bill. |
| Current law limits federal jurisdiction over hate crimes to incidents that occur during the exercise of federally protected activities, such as voting, and does not permit federal involvement in a range of cases involving crimes motivated by bias against the victim's sexual orientation, gender or disability. |
| State and local authorities currently prosecute the overwhelming majority of hate crimes and will continue to do so under this legislation, with the enhanced support of the federal government. |
