Law

This bill would require the Department of Justice to set up a special task force within six months to focus specifically on hate and discrimination against Sikh Americans.
The task force will create a formal definition of anti-Sikh hate to help the government better track crimes and decide when to take legal action against people who target the community.
The group will develop educational programs for local police, elementary schools, and colleges to teach people about Sikh identity and how to spot bias or harassment.
To keep the public informed, the task force must meet with Sikh organizations every three months and provide annual reports to Congress on hate crime trends and safety threats.
The bill specifically addresses threats from foreign entities, which happens when foreign governments try to threaten or hurt Sikh Americans living in the United States.
All public resources and safety materials created by this new team must be translated into Punjabi to ensure they are accessible to the community.
