AI Summary

  • Requires the Attorney General to release bias incident data monthly on the Department of Law and Public Safety website, in addition to the existing annual report requirement

  • Defines "bias incident" as a suspected or confirmed violation of the bias intimidation statute (C.2C:16-1), which covers offenses directed against persons or groups based on race, color, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, or ethnicity

  • Amends existing law (P.L.2007, c.303) that already requires the Attorney General to maintain a central repository for bias crime information collected from municipal and county law enforcement agencies
