Problem:SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Hate Crimes Prevention Act of
2001''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--
(1) the incidence of violence motivated by the actual or
perceived race, color, national origin, religion, sexual
orientation, gender, or disability of the victim poses a
serious national problem;
(2) such violence disrupts the tranquility and safety of
communities and is deeply divisive;
(3) existing Federal law is inadequate to address this
problem;
(4) such violence affects interstate commerce in many ways,
including--
(A) by impeding the movement of members of targeted
groups and forcing such members to move across State
lines to escape the incidence or risk of such violence;
and
(B) by preventing members of targeted groups from
purchasing goods and services, obtaining or sustaining
employment or participating in other commercial
activity;
(5) perpetrators cross State lines to commit such violence;
(6) instrumentalities of interstate commerce are used to
facilitate the commission of such violence;
(7) such violence is committed using articles that have
traveled in interstate commerce;
(8) violence motivated by bias that is a relic of slavery
can constitute badges and incidents of slavery;
(9) although many local jurisdictions have attempted to
respond to the challenges posed by such violence, the problem
is sufficiently serious, widespread, and interstate in scope to
warrant Federal intervention to assist such jurisdictions; and
(10) many States have no laws addressing violence based on
the actual or perceived race, color, national origin, religion,
sexual orientation, gender, or disability, of the victim, while
other States have laws that provide only limited protection.
