The COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, a measure intended to address hate incidents against Asian Americans amid the CCP virus pandemic, passed a final vote in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, heading to President Joe Biden’s desk for his signature.
The proposed legislation passed by a vote of 364-62 in the Democrat-majority chamber. All no votes were from Republicans. Biden has said he will sign the measure into law soon.
