Bill overview
This bill amends New Jersey law to upgrade assaults on crossing guards, parking attendants, and uniformed employees of municipal parking authorities to aggravated assault. Currently, these assaults are classified as simple disorderly persons offenses. Under this legislation, these offenses would be elevated to a fourth-degree crime, unless the victim sustains serious bodily injury, in which case they would be classified as a third-degree crime. The bill also includes provisions regarding assaults on law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, school employees, and utility workers, expanding the definition of aggravated assault to include these individuals.
