A bill adding the homeless to the state's hate crime law is headed to Gov. Charlie Crist after the Senate's passed it 25-10 Tuesday morning.
The bill was triggered by a 2006 spree of attacks by three Broward teens who beat homeless men for sport. The teens beat one sleeping homeless man to death with a baseball beat.
One of the non-fatal beatings was captured on video tape and gained national attention.
The Senate took up HB 11 sponsored by Rep. Ari Porth, D-Coral Springs.

"We all have heard the pitch about how global warming is destroying the earth but many us do not believe it or don’t think they personally can do anything to help solve the problems. From this point on we thought of a motivator so people could start taking small steps all on their own that would eventually save them money in the long run. So we said lets use money as a motivator to help restore the earth we live in."
- Sean Cononie
