The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding aggravated assault by broadening the definition to include instances where the assault is committed by a person aided by two or more accomplices who are present. This change would classify such actions as aggravated assault and establish it as a class 4 felony. Additionally, the bill would make technical and conforming changes to existing laws, including the repeal of certain overlapping provisions in the current statute.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions that enhance penalties for aggravated assault against law enforcement officers, specifying that such offenses would carry more severe classifications depending on the circumstances. It also updates the definitions of certain terms related to mental disabilities and includes new categories of individuals protected under the assault statutes, such as public transit and airport employees. The legislation would be officially titled "Preston's Law."
