Tuesday, March 27, 2006 (612) 275-9141 MINNEAPOLIS – Tom Prichard, President of the Minnesota Family Council today criticized the omnibus House Crime Prevention bill which dramatically expands hate crimes laws in Minnesota. “I’m astonished that House Republicans on the Public Safety Committee would so dramatically change our criminal justice system on so little evidence for what appears to be political purposes,” said Tom Prichard. The bill HF 2953 Omnibus Public Safety bill, establishes a hate crime for every crime in Chapter 609 and ups the penalties for hate crime, e.g. misdemeanors become gross misdemeanors |
The Minnesota Family Council is Minnesota's largest nonprofit, non-partisan pro-family organization.
