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

This bill amends New Jersey's assault law to upgrade simple assault against registered security officers to aggravated assault. It directly affects licensed security officers who are clearly identifiable while performing their duties. The key change adds security officers to the list of protected individuals under the aggravated assault statute (specifically subsection b(5)(l)), meaning assaulting them would now carry harsher penalties than a simple assault. This policy change increases legal consequences for violence targeting security personnel, aligning them with protections previously extended to law enforcement, firefighters, and other first responders.
