Governor's Task Force on Hate Crimes will be re-established

MA Governor Charlie Baker will join Secretary of Public Safety and Security Daniel Bennett on 11/6 to re-establish the Governor's Task Force on Hate Crimes. He will sign an executive order and swear-in members of the Task Force who will advise on issues relating to the prevalence, deterrence, and prevention of hate crimes in the Commonwealth and the support of victims of hate crimes. The Task Force was initiated by Governor Bill Weld by letter in 1991 and formalized by Governor Paul Cellucci through Executive Order 401 in 1997.
