Status: Failed
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds "gender identity" as a protected characteristic for hate crime reclassification (enhancing penalties) and data collection under the Hate Crimes Reporting Act, and provides a statutory definition of the term. This has no provisions on firearms, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
