Assemblyman Eng to announce this morning legislation somehow connected to Oxnard killing

| |

According to a press release: Assemblymember Mike Eng, D-Monterey Park, Chair of the Assembly Select Committee on Hate Crimes, and civil rights organizations such as Asian Pacific American Legal Center, Lambda Legal, Project 10, and Transgender Law Center will be convening a press conference to discuss the murder of Lawrence King and announce legislation that will be introduced next week to address the issue of bias-motivated incidents in schools.
Since this killing was pretty recent, obviously the legislation has been in the making long before.
UPDATE:Here's some of the details. More later.
