Bill	Civil rights.	Existing law, the Ralph Civil Rights Act of 1976, affords all persons within the jurisdiction of this state the right to be free from any violence, or intimidation by threat of violence, committed against their persons or property because of political affiliation, any specified personal characteristic, or position in a labor dispute, or because another person perceives them to have one or more of those characteristics. Existing law specifies that whoever denies this right, or aids, incites, or conspires in that denial, is liable for each and every offense for the actual damages suffered by any person denied that right and, in addition, exemplary damages, a civil penalty of $25,000, and attorney's fees. Existing law authorizes a person claiming to be aggrieved by an alleged unlawful practice in violation of this right to also file a verified complaint with the Civil Rights Department. Existing law defines the phrase "intimidation by threat of violence" for purposes of this provision.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20232024	AB 3024	California AB 3024 (20232024)	bill	Civil rights	enacted	Ward	11	26	5	2024-02-16	2024-09-25	openstates	ocd-bill/63bfd76e-174c-4289-84d5-bccc14737fb9	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB3024	cb083c5a3a88c65de952fa6231506d1d3d5c0bf420a671a6e5f585c6986ae30a	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
