Includes assault of maintenance employees of the triborough bridge and tunnel authority in the definition of assault in the second degree

This bill amends New York State's penal law to specifically include maintenance employees of the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority in the legal definition of assault in the second degree. It expands the existing protections for transit workers (like train operators and station cleaners) to cover these bridge and tunnel maintenance staff when they are performing their duties. The change means assaulting these workers while they are on the job would now be classified as a second-degree assault under state law, consistent with protections already provided to other transit and public safety personnel. This is a targeted update to the legal definition, not a new penalty or policy.
