APRIL 27, 2009
Reported with an amendment, committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union, and ordered to be printed [Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert the part printed in italic] [For text of introduced bill, see copy of bill as introduced on April 2, 2009]
A BILL
To provide Federal assistance to States, local jurisdictions, and Indian tribes to prosecute hate crimes, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009’’.
SEC. 2. DEFINITION OF HATE CRIME.
In this Act—(1) the term ‘‘crime of violence’’ has the meaning given that term in section 16, title 18, United States Code; (2) the term ‘‘hate crime’’ has the meaning given such term in section 280003(a) of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (28 U.S.C. 994 note); and (3) the term ‘‘local’’ means a county, city, town, township, parish, village, or other general purpose political subdivision of a State.
SEC. 3. SUPPORT FOR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS AND PROSECUTIONS BY STATE, LOCAL, AND TRIBAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS.
(a) ASSISTANCE OTHER THAN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—At the request of a State, local, or tribal law enforcement agency, the Attorney General may provide technical, forensic, prosecutorial, or any other form of assistance in the criminal investigation or prosecution of any crime that—(A) constitutes a crime of violence; (B) constitutes a felony under the State, local, or tribal laws; and (C) is motivated by prejudice based on the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of the victim, or is a violation of the State, local, or tribal hate crime laws. (Sexual orientation—i.e. homosexual—and, I believe also, gender identity are new in the classification of a “hate crime” at the federal level—my addition)
(2) PRIORITY.—In providing assistance under paragraph (1), the Attorney General shall give priority to crimes committed by offenders who have committed crimes in more than one State and to rural jurisdictions that have difficulty covering the extraordinary expenses relating to the investigation or prosecution of the crime.
(b) GRANTS.—(Will “stimulus” money be used for these grants?—my addition)
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Attorney General may award grants to State, local, and Indian law enforcement agencies for extraordinary expenses associated with the investigation and prosecution of hate crimes.
(2) OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS.—In implementing the grant program under this subsection, the Office of Justice Programs shall work closely with grantees to ensure that the concerns and needs of all affected parties, including community groups and schools, colleges, and universities, are addressed through the local infrastructure developed under the grants.
(3) APPLICATION.—
(A) IN GENERAL.—Each State, local, and Indian law enforcement agency that desires a grant under this subsection shall submit an application to the Attorney General at such time, in such manner, and accompanied by or containing such information as the Attorney General shall reasonably require.
(B) DATE FOR SUBMISSION.—Applications submitted pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall be submitted during the 60-day period beginning on a date that the Attorney General shall prescribe.
(C) REQUIREMENTS.—A State, local, and Indian law enforcement agency applying for a grant under this subsection shall—(i) describe the extraordinary purposes for which the grant is needed; (ii) certify that the State, local government, or Indian tribe lacks the resources necessary to investigate or prosecute the hate crime (What government does have sufficient money?—my addition); (iii) demonstrate that, in developing a plan to implement the grant, the State, local, and Indian law enforcement agency has consulted and coordinated with nonprofit, nongovernmental violence recovery service programs that have experience in providing services to victims of hate crimes; and (iv) certify that any Federal funds received under this subsection will be used to supplement, not supplant, non-Federal funds that would otherwise be available for activities funded under this subsection.
(4) DEADLINE.—An application for a grant under this subsection shall be approved or denied by the Attorney General not later than 30 business days after the date on which the Attorney General receives the application. (The Attorney General is actually going to investigate the validity of each grant request in 30 business days? Get real!—my addition)
(5) GRANT AMOUNT.—A grant under this subsection shall not exceed $100,000 for any single jurisdiction in any 1-year period. (How many local jurisdictions are there in the United States? 50 States, hundreds of cities, thousands of villages and towns, hundreds of counties, thousands of townships, and dozens of Indian law enforcement agencies. $100,000 X 10,000 jurisdictions = $1,000,000,000 (that’s one billion dollars a year just to help “fight” “hate crimes” and the Attorney General is going to investigate each application in 30 business days. Will governmental units be motivated to label violent acts “hate crimes” to qualify for grant money? It will stimulate the economy—just hiring government employees to check out the applications! And I thought we had a war on terror to fight! Borders to protect! And pirates to stop! Among other minor difficulties the U.S. faces today—my addition.)
(6) REPORT.—Not later than December 31, 2011, the Attorney General shall submit to Congress a report describing the applications submitted for grants under this subsection, the award of such grants, and the purposes for which the grant amounts were expended.
(7) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this subsection $5,000,000 (Five million dollars. Pocket change—my addition.) for each of fiscal years 2010 and 2011.
SEC. 4. GRANT PROGRAM.
(a) AUTHORITY TO AWARD GRANTS.—The Office of Justice Programs of the Department of Justice may award grants, in accordance with such regulations as the Attorney General may prescribe, to State, local, or tribal programs designed to combat hate crimes committed by juveniles, including programs to train local law enforcement officers in identifying, investigating, prosecuting, and preventing hate crimes. (Juveniles are responsible for most “hate crimes?” So we need to “indoctrinate” them—there’s nothing “wrong” with being a practicing homosexual? Is this an example of Congress’s priorities? How about stopping ALL types of violent crime!—my addition)
AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out this section. (No limits!—my addition)
SEC. 5. AUTHORIZATION FOR ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL TO ASSIST STATE, LOCAL, AND TRIBAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
There are authorized to be appropriated to the Department of Justice, including the Community Relations Service, for fiscal years 2010, 2011, and 2012, such sums as are necessary to increase the number of personnel to prevent and respond to alleged violations of section 249 of title 18, United States Code, as added by section 7 of this Act. (Federal police authority to prevent and respond to State and local “hate” crimes! Are we still even a federal system?—my addition)
SEC. 6. PROHIBITION OF CERTAIN HATE CRIME ACTS.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
‘‘§ 249. Hate crime acts
‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—
‘‘(1) OFFENSES INVOLVING ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, OR NATIONAL ORIGIN.—Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, willfully causes bodily injury to any person or, through the use of fire, a firearm, or an explosive or incendiary device, attempts to cause bodily injury to any person, because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, or national origin of any person—‘‘(A) shall be imprisoned not more than 10 years, fined in accordance with this title, or both; and ‘‘(B) shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life, fined in accordance with this title, or both, if—‘‘(i) death results from the offense; or ‘‘(ii) the offense includes kidnaping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill.
‘‘(2) OFFENSES INVOLVING ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED RELIGION, NATIONAL ORIGIN, GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY, OR DISABILITY.—
‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, in any circumstance described in subparagraph (B), willfully causes bodily injury to any person or, through the use of fire, a firearm, or an explosive or incendiary device, attempts to cause bodily injury to any person, because of the actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of any person—‘‘(i) shall be imprisoned not more than 10 years, fined in accordance with this title, or both; and ‘‘(ii) shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life, fined in accordance with this title, or both, if—‘‘(I) death results from the offense; or ‘‘(II) the offense includes kidnaping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill.
‘‘(B) CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED.—For purposes of subparagraph (A), the circumstances described in this subparagraph are that—‘‘(i) the conduct described in subparagraph (A) occurs during the course of, or as the result of, the travel of the defendant or the victim—‘‘(I) across a State line or national border; or ‘‘(II) using a channel, facility, or instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce; ‘‘(ii) the defendant uses a channel, facility, or instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce in connection with the conduct described in subparagraph (A); ‘‘(iii) in connection with the conduct described in subparagraph (A), the defendant employs a firearm, explosive or incendiary device, or other weapon that has traveled in interstate or foreign commerce; or ‘‘(iv) the conduct described in subparagraph (A)—‘‘(I) interferes with commercial or other economic activity in which the victim is engaged at the time of the conduct; or ‘‘(II) otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce.
‘‘(b) CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENT.—No prosecution of any offense described in this subsection may be undertaken by the United States, except under the certification in writing of the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, the Associate Attorney General, or any Assistant Attorney General specially designated by the Attorney General that—‘‘(1) such certifying individual has reasonable cause to believe that the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of any person was a motivating factor underlying the alleged conduct of the defendant; and ‘‘(2) such certifying individual has consulted with State or local law enforcement officials regarding the prosecution and determined that—‘‘(A) the State does not have jurisdiction or does not intend to exercise jurisdiction; ‘‘(B) the State has requested that the Federal Government assume jurisdiction; ‘‘(C) the State does not object to the Federal Government assuming jurisdiction; or ‘‘(D) the verdict or sentence obtained pursuant to State charges left demonstratively unvindicated the Federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence.
‘‘(c) DEFINITIONS.—‘‘(1) In this section—
1 ‘‘(A) the term ‘explosive or incendiary device’ has the meaning given such term in section 232 of this title; and ‘‘(B) the term ‘firearm’ has the meaning given such term in section 921(a) of this title. ‘‘(2) For the purposes of this chapter, the term ‘gender identity’ means actual or perceived gender-related characteristics.
‘‘(d) RULE OF EVIDENCE.—In a prosecution for an offense under this section, evidence of expression or associations of the defendant may not be introduced as substantive evidence at trial, unless the evidence specifically relates to that offense. However, nothing in this section affects the rules of evidence governing impeachment of a witness.’’
(b) TECHNICAL AND CONFORMING AMENDMENT.—The table of sections at the beginning of chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new item:
‘‘249. Hate crime acts.’’.
SEC. 7. SEVERABILITY.
If any provision of this Act, an amendment made by this Act, or the application of such provision or amendment to any person or circumstance is held to be unconstitutional, the remainder of this Act, the amendments made by this Act, and the application of the provisions of such to any person or circumstance shall not be affected thereby.
SEC. 8. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.
Nothing in this Act, or the amendments made by this Act, shall be construed to prohibit any expressive conduct protected from legal prohibition by, or any activities protected by the Constitution.
There you have it! So much for the alleged belief in equal protection of the law. Certain identified groups, if this bill becomes law, will have greater protect under the law, including groups based upon BEHAVIOR which has never before been the basis for determining a “hate crime” at the federal level, than all other groups. One new group specifically identified is “sexual orientation.” Do you think an assault on a heterosexual by a homosexual will be perceived as a “hate crime?” Do you think the homosexual defendant will be prosecuted for a “hate crime?” Do you think if a homosexual assaults another homosexual it will be perceived as a “hate crime?” Or, will only an assault by a heterosexual on a homosexual be perceived as a “hate crime?”
“The Federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence”—doesn’t the federal government have an interest in eradicating other violence? It seems NOT! Who can read the minds of the defendants to determine if violence is “bias-motivated” violence or just everyday, ordinary violence?
Is this the incremental first step to control those who morally believe, based upon the word of GOD, that homosexual behavior is a sin? Will one day voicing that belief be a crime? Is this the foot in the door that eventually invades and captures the whole house?
1) “Stay out of our bedroom!” 2) “Pay us through insurance protection as ‘couples’ for our bedroom!” 3) “Sanctify our behavior though marriage!” 4) “Protect us through ‘hate crime’ legislation giving us greater legal protection than some other groups!” 5)? “Protect us from those who believe our behavior is sinfully!” 6)? “Throw the ‘intolerant’ into jail! 7)? “Execute the ‘intolerant’ for being intolerant! Why not! We MURDER our own unborn babies and call it a “right” that women have!
(Spoken by JESUS) “‘He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.’” Luke 11: 23 (NIV)
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Galatians 6: 7-8 (NIV)

In this Act—(1) the term ‘‘crime of violence’’ has the meaning given that term in section 16, title 18, United States Code; (2) the term ‘‘hate crime’’ has the meaning given such term in section 280003(a) of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 (28 U.S.C. 994 note); and (3) the term ‘‘local’’ means a county, city, town, township, parish, village, or other general purpose political subdivision of a State.
SEC. 3. SUPPORT FOR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS AND PROSECUTIONS BY STATE, LOCAL, AND TRIBAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS.
(a) ASSISTANCE OTHER THAN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—At the request of a State, local, or tribal law enforcement agency, the Attorney General may provide technical, forensic, prosecutorial, or any other form of assistance in the criminal investigation or prosecution of any crime that—(A) constitutes a crime of violence; (B) constitutes a felony under the State, local, or tribal laws; and (C) is motivated by prejudice based on the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of the victim, or is a violation of the State, local, or tribal hate crime laws. (Sexual orientation—i.e. homosexual—and, I believe also, gender identity are new in the classification of a “hate crime” at the federal level—my addition)
(2) PRIORITY.—In providing assistance under paragraph (1), the Attorney General shall give priority to crimes committed by offenders who have committed crimes in more than one State and to rural jurisdictions that have difficulty covering the extraordinary expenses relating to the investigation or prosecution of the crime.
(b) GRANTS.—(Will “stimulus” money be used for these grants?—my addition)
(1) IN GENERAL.—The Attorney General may award grants to State, local, and Indian law enforcement agencies for extraordinary expenses associated with the investigation and prosecution of hate crimes.
(2) OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS.—In implementing the grant program under this subsection, the Office of Justice Programs shall work closely with grantees to ensure that the concerns and needs of all affected parties, including community groups and schools, colleges, and universities, are addressed through the local infrastructure developed under the grants.
(3) APPLICATION.—
(A) IN GENERAL.—Each State, local, and Indian law enforcement agency that desires a grant under this subsection shall submit an application to the Attorney General at such time, in such manner, and accompanied by or containing such information as the Attorney General shall reasonably require.
(B) DATE FOR SUBMISSION.—Applications submitted pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall be submitted during the 60-day period beginning on a date that the Attorney General shall prescribe.
(C) REQUIREMENTS.—A State, local, and Indian law enforcement agency applying for a grant under this subsection shall—(i) describe the extraordinary purposes for which the grant is needed; (ii) certify that the State, local government, or Indian tribe lacks the resources necessary to investigate or prosecute the hate crime (What government does have sufficient money?—my addition); (iii) demonstrate that, in developing a plan to implement the grant, the State, local, and Indian law enforcement agency has consulted and coordinated with nonprofit, nongovernmental violence recovery service programs that have experience in providing services to victims of hate crimes; and (iv) certify that any Federal funds received under this subsection will be used to supplement, not supplant, non-Federal funds that would otherwise be available for activities funded under this subsection.
(4) DEADLINE.—An application for a grant under this subsection shall be approved or denied by the Attorney General not later than 30 business days after the date on which the Attorney General receives the application. (The Attorney General is actually going to investigate the validity of each grant request in 30 business days? Get real!—my addition)
(5) GRANT AMOUNT.—A grant under this subsection shall not exceed $100,000 for any single jurisdiction in any 1-year period. (How many local jurisdictions are there in the United States? 50 States, hundreds of cities, thousands of villages and towns, hundreds of counties, thousands of townships, and dozens of Indian law enforcement agencies. $100,000 X 10,000 jurisdictions = $1,000,000,000 (that’s one billion dollars a year just to help “fight” “hate crimes” and the Attorney General is going to investigate each application in 30 business days. Will governmental units be motivated to label violent acts “hate crimes” to qualify for grant money? It will stimulate the economy—just hiring government employees to check out the applications! And I thought we had a war on terror to fight! Borders to protect! And pirates to stop! Among other minor difficulties the U.S. faces today—my addition.)
(6) REPORT.—Not later than December 31, 2011, the Attorney General shall submit to Congress a report describing the applications submitted for grants under this subsection, the award of such grants, and the purposes for which the grant amounts were expended.
(7) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this subsection $5,000,000 (Five million dollars. Pocket change—my addition.) for each of fiscal years 2010 and 2011.
SEC. 4. GRANT PROGRAM.
(a) AUTHORITY TO AWARD GRANTS.—The Office of Justice Programs of the Department of Justice may award grants, in accordance with such regulations as the Attorney General may prescribe, to State, local, or tribal programs designed to combat hate crimes committed by juveniles, including programs to train local law enforcement officers in identifying, investigating, prosecuting, and preventing hate crimes. (Juveniles are responsible for most “hate crimes?” So we need to “indoctrinate” them—there’s nothing “wrong” with being a practicing homosexual? Is this an example of Congress’s priorities? How about stopping ALL types of violent crime!—my addition)
AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out this section. (No limits!—my addition)
SEC. 5. AUTHORIZATION FOR ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL TO ASSIST STATE, LOCAL, AND TRIBAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
There are authorized to be appropriated to the Department of Justice, including the Community Relations Service, for fiscal years 2010, 2011, and 2012, such sums as are necessary to increase the number of personnel to prevent and respond to alleged violations of section 249 of title 18, United States Code, as added by section 7 of this Act. (Federal police authority to prevent and respond to State and local “hate” crimes! Are we still even a federal system?—my addition)
SEC. 6. PROHIBITION OF CERTAIN HATE CRIME ACTS.
(a) IN GENERAL.—Chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
‘‘§ 249. Hate crime acts

‘‘(b) CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENT.—No prosecution of any offense described in this subsection may be undertaken by the United States, except under the certification in writing of the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, the Associate Attorney General, or any Assistant Attorney General specially designated by the Attorney General that—‘‘(1) such certifying individual has reasonable cause to believe that the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of any person was a motivating factor underlying the alleged conduct of the defendant; and ‘‘(2) such certifying individual has consulted with State or local law enforcement officials regarding the prosecution and determined that—‘‘(A) the State does not have jurisdiction or does not intend to exercise jurisdiction; ‘‘(B) the State has requested that the Federal Government assume jurisdiction; ‘‘(C) the State does not object to the Federal Government assuming jurisdiction; or ‘‘(D) the verdict or sentence obtained pursuant to State charges left demonstratively unvindicated the Federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence.
‘‘(c) DEFINITIONS.—‘‘(1) In this section—
1 ‘‘(A) the term ‘explosive or incendiary device’ has the meaning given such term in section 232 of this title; and ‘‘(B) the term ‘firearm’ has the meaning given such term in section 921(a) of this title. ‘‘(2) For the purposes of this chapter, the term ‘gender identity’ means actual or perceived gender-related characteristics.

(b) TECHNICAL AND CONFORMING AMENDMENT.—The table of sections at the beginning of chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new item:
‘‘249. Hate crime acts.’’.
SEC. 7. SEVERABILITY.
If any provision of this Act, an amendment made by this Act, or the application of such provision or amendment to any person or circumstance is held to be unconstitutional, the remainder of this Act, the amendments made by this Act, and the application of the provisions of such to any person or circumstance shall not be affected thereby.
SEC. 8. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.
Nothing in this Act, or the amendments made by this Act, shall be construed to prohibit any expressive conduct protected from legal prohibition by, or any activities protected by the Constitution.
There you have it! So much for the alleged belief in equal protection of the law. Certain identified groups, if this bill becomes law, will have greater protect under the law, including groups based upon BEHAVIOR which has never before been the basis for determining a “hate crime” at the federal level, than all other groups. One new group specifically identified is “sexual orientation.” Do you think an assault on a heterosexual by a homosexual will be perceived as a “hate crime?” Do you think the homosexual defendant will be prosecuted for a “hate crime?” Do you think if a homosexual assaults another homosexual it will be perceived as a “hate crime?” Or, will only an assault by a heterosexual on a homosexual be perceived as a “hate crime?”
“The Federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence”—doesn’t the federal government have an interest in eradicating other violence? It seems NOT! Who can read the minds of the defendants to determine if violence is “bias-motivated” violence or just everyday, ordinary violence?
Is this the incremental first step to control those who morally believe, based upon the word of GOD, that homosexual behavior is a sin? Will one day voicing that belief be a crime? Is this the foot in the door that eventually invades and captures the whole house?
1) “Stay out of our bedroom!” 2) “Pay us through insurance protection as ‘couples’ for our bedroom!” 3) “Sanctify our behavior though marriage!” 4) “Protect us through ‘hate crime’ legislation giving us greater legal protection than some other groups!” 5)? “Protect us from those who believe our behavior is sinfully!” 6)? “Throw the ‘intolerant’ into jail! 7)? “Execute the ‘intolerant’ for being intolerant! Why not! We MURDER our own unborn babies and call it a “right” that women have!
(Spoken by JESUS) “‘He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.’” Luke 11: 23 (NIV)
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Galatians 6: 7-8 (NIV)
