H3014 provides for an enhanced penalty for certain violent crimes committed against a victim who was intentionally targeted due to the offender’s belief or perceptions about the victim.
The South Carolina State House of Representatives passed H3014 on March 8, 2023 by a vote of 84 to 31. We have assigned pluses to the nays because many hate crime laws may infringe on the First Amendment rights to freedom of speech and expression.
