2021-S6570 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                 
BILL NUMBER: S6570

SPONSOR: STAVISKY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the penal law, in relation to mandated training or coun-
seling in hate crime prevention and education for individuals convicted
of hate crimes

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

Amends Section 1. Subdivision 5 of section 485.10 of the penal law stat-
ing that the court shall require as a part of any hate crime sentencing
hate crime prevention and education.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Reports of hate crimes have been steadily increasing over the past
several years, particularly against certain groups; there were reports
of 6,121 incidents in 2016 and 7,175 incidents in 2017 (a 17 percent
increase) making 2017 the highest year to date of reported incidents to
the FBI since it began collecting data in 1995. In New York City, the

NYPD reports that there have been 84 complaints leading to 23 arrests
for hate crimes in the first quarter of 2020.

These crimes can target an individual, a group of individuals or public
or private property. Hate crimes can be perpetrated against an individ-
ual, a group or against public or private property. Currently, the court
may require the defendant in a hate crime to complete a program, train-
ing session or counseling session directed at hate crime prevention and
education.

This legislation will mandate the completion of such a program, train-
ing. session or counseling available and developed or authorized by the
court or local agencies in cooperation with organizations serving the
affected community. Education is key to tolerance and respect for others
and is essential to keeping communities safe from hateful acts and
violence.
