Establishes presumption of knowledge that display of noose or Nazi or Confederate symbol would cause bias intimidation; enhances penalties.

This bill establishes a presumption that displaying a noose, Nazi symbol, or Confederate symbol would cause bias intimidation. It enhances penalties for bias intimidation crimes, particularly when these symbols are used. Specifically, it creates a permissive inference for the prosecution to prove the defendant knew their actions would intimidate victims based on protected characteristics, and it introduces additional fines and potential parole ineligibility for repeat offenders. The bill also amends existing law to include bias intimidation as a crime subject to pension forfeiture for public officials convicted of related offenses.
