Relating to increasing the criminal penalty for certain assaults committed against employees of primary and secondary schools and to the conditions of community supervision for that offense.

HB 3098 would increase criminal penalties for assaults committed against employees of primary and secondary schools, upgrading certain offenses from misdemeanors to third-degree felonies. The bill specifies that assaults occurring while an employee is performing job duties or in retaliation for their work would trigger these enhanced penalties. It also adds stricter conditions for community supervision (probated) for offenders convicted under this provision. This bill directly affects school staff, including teachers and administrators, by strengthening legal protections against workplace violence.
