     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stop Hate Crimes Act of 2021&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill lowers the statutory burden of proof for showing intent with respect to a federal hate crime offense.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Current law makes it unlawful to willfully cause bodily injury, or attempt to do so using a dangerous weapon, because of the actual or perceived protected characteristic (e.g., race) of a person. In 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit held that the&lt;em&gt; because of&lt;/em&gt; standard requires proof that a person's actual or perceived protected characteristic was the sole motivating factor in the offense. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill replaces the&lt;em&gt; because of &lt;/em&gt;standard with a new standard. Specifically, willfully causing bodily injury, or attempting to do so using a dangerous weapon, is a hate crime offense if a person's actual or perceived protected characteristic was a contributory motivating factor in the offense.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
