“...if the person, REGARDLESS OF the existence of any OTHER MOTIVATING FACTORS, intentionally targets the individual or engages in the action based in whole OR IN PART on any of the following actual or perceived characteristics of another individual.”
This makes it a crime to defend yourself against unprovoked aggression, robbery etc. by members of protected groups, a crime, since anything will be contrued as “IN PART”.
On a more general level — since many of the actions listed in the bill are already crimes, these idiots are making it a crime to engage in crime based on the motive, and are usuing subjective standards like “severe mental anguish”. Saying good morning to some flakes might cause them to wet, who knows. Whole thing is ridiculous.

Unfortunately true.
We already have this in MN. Just recently passed by the legislature.
Are TDSers all going to be jailed for life? Plus homosexuals whDispute and tear down the Bible and Torah?
The bill specifies that one cannot legally speak against boys showering with women? Plus you cannot legally use the wrong pronoun? Gaystapo!
This is a war against conservatives. These laws won’t be enforced against ANTIFA or BLM. But any little remark against transgender grooming in schools and a conservative will be prosecuted for a felony which means losing 2A rights and losing voting rights.
Oh my.
But if MI is a blue state, why the need to throttle free speech, hmmm?
Isn't everyone on the same page...?
Then again, it may be a two-fer. Throttles free speech along with a helluva cash grab...
Fines up to 10 grand...
