Upgrades simple assault to aggravated assault when committed against registered security officer.

This bill amends New Jersey's assault statute to upgrade simple assault to aggravated assault when committed against a registered security officer who is clearly identifiable as performing their duties or due to their status as a security officer. Currently, similar upgrades apply to assaults against law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, school employees, and other public safety workers. If bodily injury occurs, the assault becomes a third-degree crime (up to 5 years in prison), otherwise it's a fourth-degree crime (up to 18 months in prison). The bill directly affects security officers by increasing penalties for assaults against them while in the performance of their duties. This change aligns security officers with other protected professions under New Jersey's assault laws.
