If the prosecutor wishes to apply the Hate Crimes Sentencing Act he/she shall notify the Judge, no later than the pre-trial hearing, that should the defendant be convicted, he/she is subject to the imposition of an enhanced sentence in accordance with this Act. The ultimate decision lies with the Judge.
