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

This bill (S 2092) amends New Jersey's assault law to upgrade simple assault to aggravated assault when committed against a registered security officer who is clearly identifiable while performing their duties. It adds security officers (registered under the Security Officer Registration Act) to the list of protected individuals - alongside police, firefighters, teachers, and others - whose assault automatically triggers aggravated assault charges. The key change is elevating the legal classification of such assaults, which would result in harsher penalties under New Jersey law. This directly affects registered security officers and individuals who assault them while they are visibly performing their job duties.
