(Leah Hogsten | Tribune file photo) l-r Sen. Daniel Thatcher, R-West Valley City, celebrates the initial approval of his hate crimes bill with Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill and Sen. Derek Kitchen, D-Salt Lake City. Thatcher's SB103 bill would allow judges to increase penalties for a crime if a defendant is convicted of targeting someone based on ancestry, disability, ethnicity, gender identity, national origin, race, religion or sexual orientation. A person must first be convicted of a crime before additional penalties would apply. There have been no successful convictions under the state's current hate crimes law.
