AN ACT Relating to identifying and responding to bias-based 1 criminal offenses; amending RCW 9A.36.078, 9A.36.080, 2.56.030, 2 9.94A.030, 9A.36.083, 9A.46.060, 43.43.830, and 48.18.553; reenacting 3 and amending RCW 9.94A.515; and adding a new section to chapter 43.10 4 RCW. 5 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON: 6 Sec. 1. RCW 9A.36.078 and 1993 c 127 s 1 are each amended to 7 read as follows: 8 The legislature finds that crimes and threats against persons 9 because of their race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, 10 gender, sexual orientation, or mental, physical, or sensory 11 ((handicaps)) disabilities are serious and increasing. The 12 legislature also finds that crimes and threats are often directed 13 against interracial couples and their children or couples of mixed 14 religions, colors, ancestries, or national origins because of bias 15 and bigotry against the race, color, religion, ancestry, or national 16 origin of one person in the couple or family. The legislature finds 17 that the state interest in preventing crimes and threats motivated by 18 bigotry and bias goes beyond the state interest in preventing other 19 felonies or misdemeanors such as criminal trespass, malicious 20 mischief, assault, or other crimes that are not motivated by hatred, 21 H-1160.1 HOUSE BILL 1732 State of Washington 66th Legislature 2019 Regular Session By Representatives Valdez, Entenman, Ramos, Wylie, and Gregerson p. 1 HB 1732 bigotry, and bias, and that prosecution of those other crimes 1 inadequately protects citizens from crimes and threats motivated by 2 bigotry and bias. Therefore, the legislature finds that protection of 3 those citizens from threats of harm due to bias and bigotry is a 4 compelling state interest. 5 The legislature also finds that in many cases, certain discrete 6 words or symbols are used to threaten the victims. Those discrete 7 words or symbols have historically or traditionally been used to 8 connote hatred or threats towards members of the class of which the 9 victim or a member of the victim's family or household is a member. 10 In particular, the legislature finds that cross burnings historically 11 and traditionally have been used to threaten, terrorize, intimidate, 12 and harass African Americans and their families. Cross burnings often 13 preceded lynchings, murders, burning of homes, and other acts of 14 terror. Further, Nazi swastikas historically and traditionally have 15 been used to threaten, terrorize, intimidate, and harass Jewish 16 people and their families. Swastikas symbolize the massive 17 destruction of the Jewish population, commonly known as the 18 holocaust. Therefore, the legislature finds that any person who burns 19 or attempts to burn a cross or displays a swastika on the property of 20 the victim or burns a cross or displays a swastika as part of a 21 series of acts directed towards a particular person, the person's 22 family or household members, or a particular group, knows or 23 reasonably should know that the cross burning or swastika may create 24 a reasonable fear of harm in the mind of the person, the person's 25 family and household members, or the group. 26 The legislature also finds that a hate crime committed against a 27 victim because of the victim's gender may be identified in the same 28 manner that a hate crime committed against a victim of another 29 protected group is identified. Affirmative indications of hatred 30 towards gender as a class is the predominant factor to consider. 31 Other factors to consider include the perpetrator's use of language, 32 slurs, or symbols expressing hatred towards the victim's gender as a 33 class; the severity of the attack including mutilation of the 34 victim's sexual organs; a history of similar attacks against victims 35 of the same gender by the perpetrator or a history of similar 36 incidents in the same area; a lack of provocation; an absence of any 37 other apparent motivation; and common sense. 38 The legislature recognizes that, since 2015, Washington state has 39 experienced a sharp increase in malicious harassment offenses, and, 40 p. 2 HB 1732 in response, the legislature finds that it is vital to send the 1 message that Washington state is a hate free zone. Therefore, the 2 legislature intends to rename the offense to its more commonly 3 understood title of "hate crime offense" and create a 4 multidisciplinary working group to establish recommendations for best 5 practices for identifying and responding to hate crimes. 6 Sec. 2. RCW 9A.36.080 and 2010 c 119 s 1 are each amended to 7 read as follows: 8 (1) A person is guilty of ((malicious harassment)) a hate crime 9 offense if he or she maliciously and intentionally commits one of the 10 following acts because of his or her perception of the victim's race, 11 color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual 12 orientation, or mental, physical, or sensory ((handicap)) disability: 13 (a) Causes physical injury to the victim or another person; 14 (b) Causes physical damage to or destruction of the property of 15 the victim or another person; or 16 (c) Threatens a specific person or group of persons and places 17 that person, or members of the specific group of persons, in 18 reasonable fear of harm to person or property. The fear must be a 19 fear that a reasonable person would have under all the circumstances. 20 For purposes of this section, a "reasonable person" is a reasonable 21 person who is a member of the victim's race, color, religion, 22 ancestry, national origin, gender, or sexual orientation, or who has 23 the same mental, physical, or sensory ((handicap)) disability as the 24 victim. Words alone do not constitute ((malicious harassment)) a hate 25 crime offense unless the context or circumstances surrounding the 26 words indicate the words are a threat. Threatening words do not 27 constitute ((malicious harassment)) a hate crime offense if it is 28 apparent to the victim that the person does not have the ability to 29 carry out the threat. 30 (2) In any prosecution for ((malicious harassment)) a hate crime 31 offense, unless evidence exists which explains to the trier of fact's 32 satisfaction that the person did not intend to threaten the victim or 33 victims, the trier of fact may infer that the person intended to 34 threaten a specific victim or group of victims because of the 35 person's perception of the victim's or victims' race, color, 36 religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or 37 mental, physical, or sensory ((handicap)) disability if the person 38 commits one of the following acts: 39 p. 3 HB 1732 (a) Burns a cross on property of a victim who is or whom the 1 actor perceives to be of African American heritage; or 2 (b) Defaces property of a victim who is or whom the actor 3 perceives to be of Jewish heritage by defacing the property with a 4 swastika. 5 This subsection only applies to the creation of a reasonable 6 inference for evidentiary purposes. This subsection does not restrict 7 the state's ability to prosecute a person under subsection (1) of 8 this section when the facts of a particular case do not fall within 9 (a) or (b) of this subsection. 10 (3) It is not a defense that the accused was mistaken that the 11 victim was a member of a certain race, color, religion, ancestry, 12 national origin, gender, or sexual orientation, or had a mental, 13 physical, or sensory ((handicap)) disability. 14 (4) Evidence of expressions or associations of the accused may 15 not be introduced as substantive evidence at trial unless the 16 evidence specifically relates to the crime charged. Nothing in this 17 chapter shall affect the rules of evidence governing impeachment of a 18 witness. 19 (5) Every person who commits another crime during the commission 20 of a crime under this section may be punished and prosecuted for the 21 other crime separately. 22 (6) For the purposes of this section: 23 (a) "Sexual orientation" has the same meaning as in RCW 24 49.60.040. 25 (b) "Threat" means to communicate, directly or indirectly, the 26 intent to: 27 (i) Cause bodily injury immediately or in the future to the 28 person threatened or to any other person; or 29 (ii) Cause physical damage immediately or in the future to the 30 property of a person threatened or that of any other person. 31 (7) ((Malicious harassment)) Commission of a hate crime offense 32 is a class C felony. 33 (8) The penalties provided in this section for ((malicious 34 harassment)) hate crime offenses do not preclude the victims from 35 seeking any other remedies otherwise available under law. 36 (9) Nothing in this section confers or expands any civil rights 37 or protections to any group or class identified under this section, 38 beyond those rights or protections that exist under the federal or 39 state Constitution or the civil laws of the state of Washington. 40 p. 4 HB 1732 NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. A new section is added to chapter 43.10 1 RCW to read as follows: 2 (1) The office of the attorney general must, by September 1, 3 2019, coordinate and convene a multidisciplinary hate crime advisory 4 working group for the purpose of developing strategies toward raising 5 awareness of and appropriate responses to hate crime offenses. The 6 working group must be a collaboration between governmental entities, 7 members of vulnerable communities, and persons with lived experience 8 relating to hate crimes. 9 (2) The group's membership must include, at a minimum, 10 representatives of: 11 (a) Organizations representing protected groups under RCW 12 9A.36.080; 13 (b) Faith organizations; 14 (c) Victims' rights organizations; 15 (d) The office of the superintendent of public instruction; 16 (e) The office of the governor; 17 (f) The office of the attorney general; 18 (g) Law enforcement, including representatives of tribal police; 19 (h) Emergency dispatchers; 20 (i) The criminal justice training commission; 21 (j) Prosecutors; and 22 (k) Criminal defense attorneys. 23 (3) The work group must develop recommended best practices for: 24 (a) Preventing hate crimes through public awareness and antibias 25 campaigns; 26 (b) Increasing identification and reporting of hate crimes, 27 including recommendations for standardization of data collection and 28 reporting; 29 (c) Strengthening law enforcement and prosecutorial responses to 30 hate crime offenses through enhanced training and other measures; and 31 (d) Supporting victims of hate crime offenses, and in particular, 32 ways of strengthening law enforcement collaboration with, and victim 33 connection to, community advocacy and support organizations. 34 (4) The working group is encouraged to solicit participation and 35 feedback from nonmember groups and individuals with relevant 36 experience, as needed. 37 (5) The working group must hold at least four meetings.

BERNARD DEAN Chief Clerk Approved May 7, 2019 10:50 AM FILED May 13, 2019 JAY INSLEE Governor of the State of Washington Secretary of State State of Washington AN ACT Relating to identifying and responding to bias-based 1 criminal offenses; amending RCW 9A.36.078, 9A.36.080, 9A.36.083, 2 2.56.030, 9.94A.030, 9A.46.060, 36.28A.030, 43.43.830, and 48.18.553; 3 reenacting and amending RCW 9.94A.515; and adding a new section to 4 chapter 43.10 RCW. 5 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON: 6 Sec. 1. RCW 9A.36.078 and 1993 c 127 s 1 are each amended to 7 read as follows: 8 The legislature finds that crimes and threats against persons 9 because of their race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, 10 gender, sexual orientation, gender expression or identity, or mental, 11 physical, or sensory ((handicaps)) disabilities are serious and 12 increasing. The legislature also finds that crimes and threats are 13 often directed against interracial couples and their children or 14 couples of mixed religions, colors, ancestries, or national origins 15 because of bias and bigotry against the race, color, religion, 16 ancestry, or national origin of one person in the couple or family. 17 The legislature finds that the state interest in preventing crimes 18 and threats motivated by bigotry and bias goes beyond the state 19 interest in preventing other felonies or misdemeanors such as 20 criminal trespass, malicious mischief, assault, or other crimes that 21 ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE HOUSE BILL 1732 AS AMENDED BY THE SENATE Passed Legislature - 2019 Regular Session State of Washington 66th Legislature 2019 Regular Session By House Public Safety (originally sponsored by Representatives Valdez, Entenman, Ramos, Wylie, Gregerson, Dolan, Frame, Jinkins, Ortiz-Self, Orwall, Peterson, Ryu, Stanford, Kilduff, Santos, Thai, Senn, Macri, and Pollet) READ FIRST TIME 02/22/19. p. 1 ESHB 1732.SL are not motivated by hatred, bigotry, and bias, and that prosecution 1 of those other crimes inadequately protects citizens from crimes and 2 threats motivated by bigotry and bias. Therefore, the legislature 3 finds that protection of those citizens from threats of harm due to 4 bias and bigotry is a compelling state interest. 5 The legislature also finds that in many cases, certain discrete 6 words or symbols are used to threaten the victims. Those discrete 7 words or symbols have historically or traditionally been used to 8 connote hatred or threats towards members of the class of which the 9 victim or a member of the victim's family or household is a member. 10 In particular, the legislature finds that cross burnings historically 11 and traditionally have been used to threaten, terrorize, intimidate, 12 and harass African Americans and their families. Cross burnings often 13 preceded lynchings, murders, burning of homes, and other acts of 14 terror. Further, Nazi swastikas historically and traditionally have 15 been used to threaten, terrorize, intimidate, and harass Jewish 16 people and their families. Swastikas symbolize the massive 17 destruction of the Jewish population, commonly known as the 18 holocaust. Therefore, the legislature finds that any person who burns 19 or attempts to burn a cross or displays a swastika on the property of 20 the victim or burns a cross or displays a swastika as part of a 21 series of acts directed towards a particular person, the person's 22 family or household members, or a particular group, knows or 23 reasonably should know that the cross burning or swastika may create 24 a reasonable fear of harm in the mind of the person, the person's 25 family and household members, or the group. 26 The legislature also finds that attacks on religious places of 27 worship and threatening defacement of religious texts have increased, 28 as have assaults and attacks on those who visibly self-identify as 29 members of a religious minority, such as by wearing religious head 30 covering or other visible articles of faith. The legislature finds 31 that any person who defaces religious real property with derogatory 32 words, symbols, or items, who places a vandalized or defaced 33 religious item or scripture on the property of a victim, or who 34 attacks or attempts to remove the religious garb or faith-based 35 attire of a victim, knows or reasonably should know that such actions 36 create a reasonable fear of harm in the mind of the victim. 37 The legislature also finds that a hate crime committed against a 38 victim because of the victim's gender may be identified in the same 39 manner that a hate crime committed against a victim of another 40 p. 2 ESHB 1732.SL protected group is identified. Affirmative indications of hatred 1 towards gender as a class is the predominant factor to consider. 2 Other factors to consider include the perpetrator's use of language, 3 slurs, or symbols expressing hatred towards the victim's gender as a 4 class; the severity of the attack including mutilation of the 5 victim's sexual organs; a history of similar attacks against victims 6 of the same gender by the perpetrator or a history of similar 7 incidents in the same area; a lack of provocation; an absence of any 8 other apparent motivation; and common sense. 9 The legislature recognizes that, since 2015, Washington state has 10 experienced a sharp increase in malicious harassment offenses, and, 11 in response, the legislature intends to rename the offense to its 12 more commonly understood title of "hate crime offense" and create a 13 multidisciplinary working group to establish recommendations for best 14 practices for identifying and responding to hate crimes. 15 Sec. 2. RCW 9A.36.080 and 2010 c 119 s 1 are each amended to 16 read as follows: 17 (1) A person is guilty of ((malicious harassment)) a hate crime 18 offense if he or she maliciously and intentionally commits one of the 19 following acts because of his or her perception of the victim's race, 20 color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual 21 orientation, gender expression or identity, or mental, physical, or 22 sensory ((handicap)) disability: 23 (a) Causes physical injury to the victim or another person; 24 (b) Causes physical damage to or destruction of the property of 25 the victim or another person; or 26 (c) Threatens a specific person or group of persons and places 27 that person, or members of the specific group of persons, in 28 reasonable fear of harm to person or property. The fear must be a 29 fear that a reasonable person would have under all the circumstances. 30 For purposes of this section, a "reasonable person" is a reasonable 31 person who is a member of the victim's race, color, religion, 32 ancestry, national origin, gender, or sexual orientation, or who has 33 the same gender expression or identity, or the same mental, physical, 34 or sensory ((handicap)) disability as the victim. Words alone do not 35 constitute ((malicious harassment)) a hate crime offense unless the 36 context or circumstances surrounding the words indicate the words are 37 a threat. Threatening words do not constitute ((malicious 38 p. 3 ESHB 1732.SL harassment)) a hate crime offense if it is apparent to the victim 1 that the person does not have the ability to carry out the threat. 2 (2) In any prosecution for ((malicious harassment)) a hate crime 3 offense, unless evidence exists which explains to the trier of fact's 4 satisfaction that the person did not intend to threaten the victim or 5 victims, the trier of fact may infer that the person intended to 6 threaten a specific victim or group of victims because of the 7 person's perception of the victim's or victims' race, color, 8 religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, 9 gender expression or identity, or mental, physical, or sensory 10 ((handicap)) disability if the person commits one of the following 11 acts: 12 (a) Burns a cross on property of a victim who is or whom the 13 actor perceives to be of African American heritage; ((or)) 14 (b) Defaces property of a victim who is or whom the actor 15 perceives to be of Jewish heritage by defacing the property with a 16 swastika; 17 (c) Defaces religious real property with words, symbols, or items 18 that are derogatory to persons of the faith associated with the 19 property; 20 (d) Places a vandalized or defaced religious item or scripture on 21 the property of a victim who is or whom the actor perceives to be of 22 the faith with which that item or scripture is associated; 23 (e) Damages, destroys, or defaces religious garb or other faith- 24 based attire belonging to the victim or attempts to or successfully 25 removes religious garb or other faith-based attire from the victim's 26 person without the victim's authorization; or 27 (f) Places a noose on the property of a victim who is or whom the 28 actor perceives to be of a racial or ethnic minority group. 29 This subsection only applies to the creation of a reasonable 30 inference for evidentiary purposes. This subsection does not restrict 31 the state's ability to prosecute a person under subsection (1) of 32 this section when the facts of a particular case do not fall within 33 (a) ((or (b))) through (f) of this subsection. 34 (3) It is not a defense that the accused was mistaken that the 35 victim was a member of a certain race, color, religion, ancestry, 36 national origin, gender, or sexual orientation, had a particular 37 gender expression or identity, or had a mental, physical, or sensory 38 ((handicap)) disability. 39 p. 4 ESHB 1732.SL (4) Evidence of expressions or associations of the accused may 1 not be introduced as substantive evidence at trial unless the 2 evidence specifically relates to the crime charged. Nothing in this 3 chapter shall affect the rules of evidence governing impeachment of a 4 witness. 5 (5) Every person who commits another crime during the commission 6 of a crime under this section may be punished and prosecuted for the 7 other crime separately. 8 (6) For the purposes of this section: 9 (a) "Gender expression or identity" means having or being 10 perceived as having a gender identity, self-image, appearance, 11 behavior, or expression, whether or not that gender identity, self- 12 image, appearance, behavior, or expression is different from that 13 traditionally associated with the sex assigned to that person at 14 birth. 15 (b) "Sexual orientation" ((has the same meaning as in RCW 16 49.60.040)) means heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality. 17 (((b))) (c) "Threat" means to communicate, directly or 18 indirectly, the intent to: 19 (i) Cause bodily injury immediately or in the future to the 20 person threatened or to any other person; or 21 (ii) Cause physical damage immediately or in the future to the 22 property of a person threatened or that of any other person. 23 (7) ((Malicious harassment)) Commission of a hate crime offense 24 is a class C felony. 25 (8) The penalties provided in this section for ((malicious 26 harassment)) hate crime offenses do not preclude the victims from 27 seeking any other remedies otherwise available under law. 28 (9) Nothing in this section confers or expands any civil rights 29 or protections to any group or class identified under this section, 30 beyond those rights or protections that exist under the federal or 31 state Constitution or the civil laws of the state of Washington. 32 Sec. 3. RCW 9A.36.083 and 1993 c 127 s 3 are each amended to 33 read as follows: 34 In addition to the criminal penalty provided in RCW 9A.36.080 for 35 committing a ((crime of malicious harassment)) hate crime offense, 36 the victim may bring a civil cause of action for ((malicious 37 harassment)) the hate crime offense against the ((harasser)) person 38 who committed the offense. A person may be liable to the victim of 39 p. 5 ESHB 1732.SL ((malicious harassment)) the hate crime offense for actual damages, 1 punitive damages of up to ((ten)) one hundred thousand dollars, and 2 reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in bringing the action. 3 NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. A new section is added to chapter 43.10 4 RCW to read as follows: 5 (1) The office of the attorney general must, by September 1, 6 2019, coordinate and convene a multidisciplinary hate crime advisory 7 working group for the purpose of developing strategies toward raising 8 awareness of and appropriate responses to hate crime offenses and 9 hate incidents. The working group must undertake its work with a view 10 towards restorative justice. 11 (2) The group's membership must include: 12 (a) Four legislators, one appointed by each of the two largest 13 caucuses of the senate and one appointed by each of the two largest 14 caucuses of the house of representatives; 15 (b) Six members appointed by the governor from organizations 16 representing groups protected under RCW 9A.36.080; 17 (c) One member appointed by the governor representing law 18 enforcement; 19 (d) One member appointed by the governor representing 20 prosecutors; 21 (e) One member appointed by the governor that is from a local 22 organization with national expertise legislating against, tracking, 23 and responding to hate crimes and hate incidents; 24 (f) One member appointed by the governor representing K-12 25 educators; and 26 (g) One member representing the attorney general's office. 27 (3) The work group must develop recommended best practices for: 28 (a) Preventing hate crimes and hate incidents, especially those 29 occurring in public K-12 schools and in the workplace, through public 30 awareness and antibias campaigns; 31 (b) Increasing identification and reporting of hate crimes and 32 hate incidents, including recommendations for standardization of data 33 collection and reporting; 34 (c) Strengthening law enforcement, prosecutorial, and public K-12 35 school responses to hate crime offenses and hate incidents through 36 enhanced training and other measures; and 37 (d) Supporting victims of hate crime offenses and hate incidents, 38 and in particular, ways of strengthening law enforcement, health 39 p. 6 ESHB 1732.SL care, and educational collaboration with, and victim connection to, 1 community advocacy and support organizations. 2 (4) The working group is encouraged to solicit participation and 3 feedback from nonmember groups and individuals with relevant 4 experience, as needed. 5 (5) The working group must hold at least four meetings.

RCW 2.56.030 and 2009 c 479 s 2 are each amended to read 10 as follows: 11 The administrator for the courts shall, under the supervision and 12 direction of the chief justice: 13 (1) Examine the administrative methods and systems employed in 14 the offices of the judges, clerks, stenographers, and employees of 15 the courts and make recommendations, through the chief justice, for 16 the improvement of the same; 17 (2) Examine the state of the dockets of the courts and determine 18 the need for assistance by any court; 19 (3) Make recommendations to the chief justice relating to the 20 assignment of judges where courts are in need of assistance and carry 21 out the direction of the chief justice as to the assignments of 22 judges to counties and districts where the courts are in need of 23 assistance; 24 (4) Collect and compile statistical and other data and make 25 reports of the business transacted by the courts and transmit the 26 same to the chief justice to the end that proper action may be taken 27 in respect thereto; 28 (5) Prepare and submit budget estimates of state appropriations 29 necessary for the maintenance and operation of the judicial system 30 and make recommendations in respect thereto; 31 (6) Collect statistical and other data and make reports relating 32 to the expenditure of public moneys, state and local, for the 33 maintenance and operation of the judicial system and the offices 34 connected therewith; 35 (7) Obtain reports from clerks of courts in accordance with law 36 or rules adopted by the supreme court of this state on cases and 37 other judicial business in which action has been delayed beyond 38 p. 7 ESHB 1732.SL periods of time specified by law or rules of court and make report 1 thereof to supreme court of this state; 2 (8) Act as secretary of the judicial conference referred to in 3 RCW 2.56.060; 4 (9) Submit annually, as of February 1st, to the chief justice, a 5 report of the activities of the administrator's office for the 6 preceding calendar year including activities related to courthouse 7 security; 8 (10) Administer programs and standards for the training and 9 education of judicial personnel; 10 (11) Examine the need for new superior court and district court 11 judge positions under an objective workload analysis.
