Hate Crimes Sentencing Enhancement Act of 1992 - Amends the Federal judicial code to require the U.S. Sentencing Commission to: (1) promulgate or amend existing guidelines to provide for sentencing enhancements of not less than three offense levels for offenses that are hate crimes; and (2) ensure reasonable consistency with other guidelines, avoid duplicative punishments for substantially the same offenses, and take into account any mitigating circumstances that might justify exceptions.
