Upgrades assault on crossing guard, parking attendant, or uniformed employee of municipal parking authority to aggravated assault.

This New Jersey bill upgrades assaults against uniformed crossing guards, parking attendants, and municipal parking authority employees to aggravated assault when they're clearly performing their duties. If the victim suffers bodily injury, the offense becomes a third-degree crime punishable by 3-5 years in prison and/or up to $15,000 in fines. Without bodily injury, it's a fourth-degree crime with a maximum penalty of 18 months in prison and/or $10,000 in fines. The bill directly affects these public safety workers and anyone who assaults them while they're on duty.
