Includes certain offenses in being eligible for bail, makes certain offenses eligible to be considered hate crimes, and increases the penalties for certain offenses

Summary

The legislation adds a range of offenses—including terrorism‑related money laundering, threats of mass harm, certain assaults, arson, and aggravated harassment—to the lists that courts consider when deciding bail and when applying hate‑crime enhancements. It also allows those offenses to carry higher penalties. The changes affect defendants charged with these crimes and aim to give prosecutors and judges more tools to address serious, ideologically‑motivated wrongdoing.
