AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to further provide for the offense of aggravated assault and the offense of assault of law enforcement officers. Specifically, it adds a new provision that requires the issuing authority to impose a minimum bail of $1,000,000 for any person arrested for allegedly causing bodily injury to a police officer under the aggravated assault statute or for any arrest under the assault of law enforcement officer statute.
