The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee today passed on voice vote S. 1086, the Senate version of “The Child Safety Act,” without the “hate crimes” language that passed in the House in September.
This is good news for pro-family Americans. However, CWA has learned that Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Massachusetts) might introduce the “hate crimes” amendment when the bill, which tightens laws regarding sex offenders, comes to the Senate floor. No timeline has been given for a full Senate vote.
Sen. Kennedy also reportedly may try to add the “hate crimes” language to another, unrelated bill, S. 1088, “The Streamlined Procedures Act of 2005,” which deals with the appeals process in criminal cases. "- Robert Knight, CWA, Oct. 20, 2005
