BILL NUMBER: S3857 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the penal law, in relation to assaults on department of sanitation workers and nursing professionals PURPOSE : Relates to assault on department of sanitation enforcement agents and nursing professional while such person was performing an assigned duty. JUSTIFICATION : This bill would raise conduct classified as an assault in the third degree to an assault in the second degree. This legislation will prevent the department of sanitation workers and nursing professionals from becoming victims of assault and aggression, as well as abusive language and threats. This bill would make assaulting them a felony and increase harsher penalties on their assailants. The current law protects peace officers, police officer, firefighters, traffic enforcement officers and agents and emergency medical service professionals. Under the new law, sanitation enforcement agents will be given the same protection.
