AI Summary
This bill amends Section 2702(c)(27) of Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, which defines aggravated assault, to clarify that a school crossing guard is considered an employee of a school district or local police department for the purposes of aggravated assault charges, specifically when acting within the scope of their employment or because of their employment relationship to the school. This amendment aims to provide enhanced protection for school crossing guards by ensuring they are recognized as individuals who, when assaulted, can be subject to aggravated assault charges, similar to other school employees and officials.
