The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6506, aims to enhance the protection of sports officials by amending the general statutes to include increased criminal penalties and civil remedies for attacks on sports officials. Additionally, the bill calls for a public awareness campaign to address the issue of violence against these officials. The intent of the legislation is to combat the rising incidents of assaults on sports officials and to encourage more individuals to take on these roles without fear of harm. The bill does not specify any deletions from current law, focusing instead on the introduction of new provisions to strengthen the legal framework surrounding the protection of sports officials. By implementing these changes, the bill seeks to create a safer environment for officials and promote the integrity of sports.
