The PRIDE Act of 2023, also known as Bill 118 hr 4326, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress aimed at expanding protections for LGBTQ individuals. The bill seeks to address discrimination and violence against LGBTQ individuals by enhancing law enforcement training, improving data collection on hate crimes, and increasing resources for victims of hate crimes.

Specifically, the PRIDE Act of 2023 would require the Department of Justice to provide training to law enforcement agencies on identifying, investigating, and prosecuting hate crimes against LGBTQ individuals. It would also establish a grant program to support state and local law enforcement agencies in their efforts to combat hate crimes targeting the LGBTQ community.

This data would help policymakers and law enforcement agencies better understand the scope of hate crimes against LGBTQ individuals and develop more effective strategies to address them. Furthermore, the PRIDE Act of 2023 would provide funding for victim support services, including counseling, legal assistance, and medical care, for individuals who have been targeted in hate crimes. This support is crucial in helping victims recover from the trauma of hate crimes and rebuild their lives.
