Expands the definition of special victim to include staff members of the division of youth services

HB 203 would expand the legal definition of "special victim" to include staff members of the division of youth services. This means youth services employees who are assaulted while performing their job duties would be covered under this category, alongside existing groups like law enforcement, emergency personnel, and corrections officers. The bill adds this specific group to the existing list of professions protected under the "special victim" designation in assault-related laws. This change would directly affect youth services staff and impact how their assault cases are handled under the law.
