AN ACT REVISING AND CONSOLIDATING THE HATE CRIMES STATUTES.

Summary

The act revises Connecticut’s hate‑crime statutes to add more protected classes and new offenses such as threats, advocacy, noose displays, commercial ads, stalking, and false 9‑1‑1 calls. It also creates housing anti‑discrimination protections, a state‑wide hate‑crime advisory council, and lets the attorney general file civil suits. Penalties range from misdemeanors to felonies with mandatory minimum fines that courts may only lower with a written justification.
