"If the State ignores this, the Attorney General can look at it and say, we have decided to prosecute this case."

"I think this bill presents the caution to States, to counties, to look deeply to see if a crime of violence, in fact, is motivated by hate, not dismiss it."

"Hate crimes are really the worst. They are scarring forever on the individual, they are brutal when they happen."

"This law only applies to a felony and a crime of violence."
