Original Note:

Like current hate crime law, this would only apply to criminal acts, not free expression. https://original.newsbreak.com/@the-maine-writer-1593788/2891636346524-representative-sheila-jackson-lee-introduces-bill-leading-against-white-supremacy-act-of-2023 https://twitter.com/JacksonLeeTX18/status/1614898507088797696
