Currently, the commission was set to be dissolved on January 1, 2027, but this bill pushes that date to January 1, 2031. The commission’s purpose is to provide resources and information to state and local agencies, law enforcement, and the public regarding trends in hate-related crime, and to advise the legislature on policy recommendations to combat hate and intolerance.
