Hate-Free Heroes Act; enact

Summary

The Hate‑Free Heroes Act adds a new rule that anyone who voluntarily associated with a hate group within the last decade cannot be hired as a peace officer or serve in the state militia, and current officers with such ties can be investigated and removed. It requires background checks, a state‑run list of hate groups, an appeal process, and annual public reporting. The goal is to protect public trust by keeping extremist affiliations out of law‑enforcement and militia roles.
