The bill mandates the Attorney General to evaluate if jurisdictions report hate crimes credibly and penalizes non-compliance with grant eligibility.
The Improving Reporting to Prevent Hate Act of 2026 requires the Attorney General to assess whether jurisdictions report hate crimes credibly. Jurisdictions with populations over 100,000 that fail to report hate crimes or report zero incidents are ineligible for grants. However, jurisdictions can avoid penalties if they have conducted significant public education on hate crimes. The Attorney General must publish an annual report on certified jurisdictions.
