Bill overview
The Protect and Serve Act of 2023 creates a new federal crime for intentionally assaulting a law enforcement officer and causing serious bodily injury, particularly when that assault impacts interstate commerce. Individuals convicted of this crime could face up to 10 years in prison, a fine, or both. The bill also establishes specific circumstances that elevate the severity of the offense, such as causing death or involving kidnapping, and requires federal prosecution only with Attorney General certification to avoid conflicting with state jurisdiction.
