Summary: This resolution appropriates $100,000 to the Rhode Island Commission on Prejudice and Bias. The commission, established in 1981, is responsible for studying and addressing various forms of prejudice, bias, and hatred within the state. It consists of a diverse group of members, including state legislators, community leaders, and law enforcement representatives, and aims to foster communication and collaboration between these entities and the communities they serve. The commission also provides hate crime training and resources for law enforcement and community groups, while advising state officials on relevant laws and policies. The proposed funding is intended to support the commission's efforts in combating bigotry and assisting victims of hate crimes in Rhode Island. The appropriation will be distributed through the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence, with the state controller authorized to facilitate the payment upon receipt of proper documentation.
