AI Summary

This bill amends Section 39 of Chapter 265 of the General Laws to increase the penalty for crimes committed against police officers. Specifically, it adds "employment as a police officer" as a protected status, similar to disability, that can result in enhanced penalties for crimes committed against individuals with that status. The bill also defines "police officer" to include officers from various state and local law enforcement agencies, such as county, municipal, and campus police departments, the Department of Environmental Law Enforcement, the State Police, and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority police.
