Upgrades simple assault to aggravated assault if committed against crossing guard or parking enforcement officer.

This bill (A2202) upgrades simple assault to aggravated assault when committed against a crossing guard or parking enforcement officer who is clearly identifiable as performing their duties (e.g., in uniform or at a school crossing). It directly affects these public safety workers by increasing penalties for assaults against them during official duties. Under the bill, such assaults would become a third-degree crime (carrying up to 5 years in prison) if bodily injury occurs, rather than a lesser fourth-degree offense. This aligns with existing protections for other frontline workers like police, firefighters, and school staff under New Jersey law.
