A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to punish criminal offenses targeting law enforcement officers, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Protect and Serve Act of 2021, amends federal law to create a new criminal offense for assaulting a law enforcement officer, causing serious bodily injury. The bill sets penalties of up to 30 years in prison, or life imprisonment if the assault results in death or includes kidnapping or attempted murder. The federal government can only prosecute these crimes under certain circumstances, such as when the conduct involves interstate travel or commerce, or if the victim is a federal law enforcement officer. The Attorney General or a designee must also certify that the prosecution is necessary to protect public safety or secure substantial justice.
