RELATING TO THE NATIONAL GUARD.

SB 1382 would make intentionally causing bodily injury to a National Guard member while they are performing their duties a class C felony. This bill directly affects National Guard members by increasing the legal penalty for harming them during official service. The key provision raises the offense from a lesser crime to a class C felony, specifying that intentional or knowing injury during duty triggers this higher penalty.
