OK: Bill to keep federal law enforcement from taking over “hate crimes” cases

The Oklahoman: “A state law enforcement agency would not be required to share investigative files with federal agencies under changes proposed to the state’s hate crime bill . . . Under the new provisions of Senate Bill 1965, reports that were collected during investigations of possible hate crime that did not end in a conviction would be destroyed or kept by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.”
