Upgrades certain types of assault against sports officials to aggravated assault.
AI Summary
This bill upgrades certain types of assault against sports officials to aggravated assault, a more serious crime. Specifically, the bill amends the existing law on assault to include sports officials as a protected category, making it a crime of the third degree to assault a sports official while they are clearly identified as engaged in their duties or because of their status as a sports official. The term "sports official" is defined to include referees, umpires, coaches, and other volunteers or paid personnel involved in youth sports events. The bill aims to provide enhanced legal protections for those overseeing youth sports activities.
