Rhode Island H8207 appropriates $100,000 to the Rhode Island Commission on Prejudice and Bias.

Rhode Island H8207 allocates $100,000 to the Rhode Island Commission on Prejudice and Bias for fiscal year 2026-2027. The commission, established in 1981, studies prejudice, bias, and hatred in the state and provides hate crime training to law enforcement. It also offers guidance to the Governor, Attorney General, and legislature. The appropriation aims to support the commission's mission as its previous funding sources have become insufficient.
