An effort to criminalize hate litter passed the Assembly Judiciary Committee in Sacramento on Tuesday. It is the first step to make the distribution of hate litter unlawful. It comes after San Diego residents in several neighborhoods found antisemitic fliers on sidewalks, in driveways and on car windshields last year. San Diego Assemblymember Chris Ward introduced the legislation, which is sponsored by the City of San Diego .
"There is recourse for our city attorney or any civil prosecutor to be able to deter this activity and to be able to and allow for a civil penalty for those who are offending," said Ward. "This is unfortunately a growing trend. And so a lot of things that we do at the state capital respond to what we're seeing that are happening right in our own very communities.
