Michigan hate speech bill would make it a felony to make someone ‘feel threatened’

  • The Michigan statehouse passed a bill that makes it a hate crime to cause someone to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened. The bill was passed in response to threats made against a synagogue in East Lansing.
  • The bill would expand the state's Ethnic Intimidation Act to include sexual orientation and gender identity or expression as protected classes. It broadens the definition of hate crimes to include threats or damage to property, targeted force, intimidation, threats, or bodily injury.
