Matthew Shepherd LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Arkansas lawmakers on Monday approved a stripped-down alternative to hate crimes legislation that longtime supporters of such laws have criticized as not providing true protections following a succession of new measures restricting the rights of transgender people. The majority-Republican House voted 65-26 in favor of the measure, called a “class protection bill, sending it to Gov. Asa Hutchinson s desk. The Republican, who has made enacting a hate crimes law a priority this year, said he plans to sign the bill into law. Arkansas is one of three states without a hate crimes law, along with South Carolina and Wyoming. Hate crimes legislation is also advancing in South Carolina s Legislature.
