Relative to felonious assault and battery of a police officer. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 13D of Chapter 265 of the General Laws in Massachusetts, which deals with felonious assault and battery of a police officer. The bill adds a new provision that any individual convicted of a second or subsequent offense under this section shall be punished by imprisonment in a state prison for not more than 5 years. This aims to increase the penalty for repeat offenders who assault or batter police officers, recognizing the seriousness of these crimes and the need to provide stronger deterrence and punishment for those who commit them multiple times.
