An Act amending Title 44 (Law and Justice) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, establishing a hate group database; and imposing powers and duties on the Attorney General.
SB 1029 would create a publicly accessible database of organizations identified as hate groups in Pennsylvania, requiring the Attorney General to establish and maintain this resource. The bill mandates the Attorney General to identify and list groups engaging in hate-based activities, with regular updates to the database. This database would provide transparent information to the public about such groups, including their activities and affiliations. The bill directly affects the Attorney General's office, which would assume new administrative duties, and the public, which would gain access to this information.
