Crimes Against Judicial Officers and Professional Permits to Carry (5545XD) - Attorney General

This bill creates a professional permit to carry weapons for judicial officers, county attorneys, and certain legal professionals (like the attorney general and deputies), allowing them to carry concealed weapons in courtrooms and anywhere in the state while on duty. It also establishes two new criminal offenses: threatening a judicial officer or their immediate family (a class C felony) and maliciously sharing their personal information (a serious misdemeanor). The law defines "immediate family" broadly to include spouses, children, and adoptive relatives, and specifies that sharing addresses or phone numbers with harmful intent is prohibited. These provisions aim to enhance safety for individuals working in judicial roles by addressing threats and privacy violations.
