The legislation added the phrase "ancestry, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation gender or gender id entity" to the list of protected categories in the state's Ethnic Intimidation law.

CLGCR executive director Stacy Sobel insisted that the measure was "a statement that [state legislators] will not tolerate violence towards their most vulnerable constituents."
