Bill Summary
Crimes and offenses; assault in the second degree, revised
AI Summary
This bill revises the definition of assault in the second degree in Alabama law, which is classified as a Class C felony. The changes expand the circumstances under which this crime can be committed, notably by adding a provision that makes it assault in the second degree to intentionally cause physical injury to any person with the intent to cause physical injury to a child in an educational environment. The bill also clarifies that certain provisions regarding off-duty peace officers do not alter their classification for workers' compensation or other benefits, nor do they extend the tort liability of municipalities for the actions of off-duty officers. The revised law will take effect on October 1, 2026.
