Georgia Hate Crime Bill Goes To Gov. Kemp's Desk

House Bill 426, a bipartisan effort, has passed in Georgia's House and Senate and awaits the governor's signature. The bill aims to impose stricter penalties for hate crimes based on race, gender, sexual orientation, and other factors. It was motivated by the killing of Ahmad Arbery, which highlighted the absence of hate crime legislation in Georgia. The Department of Justice is investigating Arbery's case as a federal hate crime.
