Election Worker Protection Second Emergency Amendment Act of 2024

This bill proposes to increase penalties for violent crimes committed against election workers, including Board of Elections members, employees, and volunteers, while they are performing their duties. It directly affects individuals who commit offenses such as assault, kidnapping, or threats of violence against these officials by allowing fines and prison terms to be raised to one and a half times the standard maximum. The law applies specifically to a long list of serious crimes, including murder, robbery, and arson, when committed against those working in elections. If approved, this emergency measure would remain in effect for no longer than 90 days.
