AI Summary
This bill amends the Penal Law to remove the requirement that a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument be used in order to charge someone with aggravated assault upon a police officer or peace officer. The new law would allow for this more serious felony charge even if no deadly weapon or dangerous instrument was used, as long as the person intended to cause serious physical injury to the officer who was engaged in their official duties.
