Revises definition of health care professional in aggravated assault statute to match definition under "Health Care Heroes Violence Prevention Act."

This bill amends New Jersey's aggravated assault statute to update the definition of "health care professional" to match the broader definition established in the "Health Care Heroes Violence Prevention Act." Currently, the aggravated assault statute only covers specific health care workers, while the "Health Care Heroes" law includes a wider range of staff such as volunteers, supportive services staff, and other employees working in health care facilities. By aligning these definitions, the bill ensures all health care professionals covered under the "Health Care Heroes" law would also be protected under the aggravated assault statute. This change directly affects health care workers, volunteers, and support staff across New Jersey who provide patient care or perform official duties in health care settings.
