Maddy summaryThis bill amends New York's penal law to explicitly include "on-duty auxiliary police officers" within the legal definition of assault in the second degree.

The key change is adding auxiliary officers to the list of protected personnel in the statute, without creating new penalties or altering existing legal standards for assault.
