Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill expands the definition of third-degree assault to include any employee or contractor of a public or private transit company or school district transportation service who is assaulted while performing their official duties. Currently, the law specifically lists transit operators, drivers, their supervisors, mechanics, and security officers. The change would broaden protection to all individuals working for these services.
