Bill overview
The Protect and Serve Act of 2025 creates a new federal crime for intentionally assaulting a law enforcement officer and causing serious bodily injury, particularly when the assault occurs during interstate travel or involves channels of commerce. Penalties include imprisonment and fines, and are increased if the assault results in death or involves kidnapping. The bill also establishes a process for federal prosecution, requiring certification from the Attorney General to ensure it’s justified and doesn’t infringe on state jurisdiction.
