Elevates assault of a code enforcement official to the class D felony of assault in the second degree
This bill reclassifies assaulting a code enforcement official as a class D felony (a more serious offense) instead of a misdemeanor. It specifically targets individuals who cause physical injury to these officials while they're performing their duties. The key change is elevating the legal penalty for this specific assault, making it punishable by up to 7 years in prison. This directly affects code enforcement officials and individuals who assault them while they're carrying out enforcement work.
