The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, commonly known as the Matthew Shepard Act, is a U.S. federal law enacted in 2009 that expands the definition of hate crimes to include those motivated by the victim's sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. It allows federal funding for local and state law enforcement to investigate and prosecute hate crimes. The act is named after Matthew Shepard, a gay college student who was brutally murdered in 1998, and James Byrd, Jr., an African American man who was killed in a racially motivated hate crime. This legislation aims to enhance protections against hate-motivated violence and support victims.
