Summary
Amends the definition of "emergency medical services provider" for the offense of battery to include a staff member in the emergency department of a hospital. Specifies that the enhancement for battery committed on a public safety official does not apply if the person who commits the offense is detained or committed under the involuntary commitment statute. Provides that the employee of a court or law enforcement agency who warns the subject of a warrant of the existence of the warrant with the intent to interfere with the execution of the warrant commits obstruction of justice. Adds "fondling" to the crime of sexual misconduct with a service provider.
