The shooting death of unarmed black jogger Ahmaud Arbery has prompted a “newfound resurgence” in Georgia for a state hate crime law, according to a report.

Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son, Travis, 34 — both white men — were charged last week for fatally gunning down the 25-year-old after graphic video footage emerged of the Feb. 23 incident.

The father-son duo were slapped with murder and aggravated assault charges, but now Georgia lawmakers are pushing for a stalled hate crime bill — which would carry heavier penalties — to be passed when the new legislative session begins next month, according to a CBS News report.

Georgia, along with South Carolina, Wyoming and Arkansas, is one of four states to have no hate crime laws, the outlet reported.

Georgia Rep. Karen Bennett, chairwoman of the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus, told the outlet that since Arbery’s death, there’s a “newfound resurgence of interest in making sure Georgia gets this on the books.”

Previous bids hadn’t gained traction, but last year, HB 426, the latest proposed hate crimes bill, was passed in the Georgia House of Representatives with bipartisan support, according to the report.

However, it was stalled in the Senate committee as the session was suspended amid the coronavirus pandemic in March.

“The passage of HB 426, the hate crime bill, would allow citizens to feel safe knowing the state of Georgia does not accept or tolerate behavior rooted in hate,” Georgia Rep. Gloria Frazier said at a press conference, according to CBS.

Frazier, Rep. Al Williams and Sen. Lester Jackson want the bill to be renamed the Ahmaud Arbery Hate Crime Bill, the outlet reported.

The push has bipartisan support with Republican lawmakers also calling to urgently pass it, including Republican Rep. David Ralston, speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives.

“It’s time to do what’s right. It’s going to take some leadership and some courage, but I think it’s time to act,” Ralston told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
