This bill amends section 28-929.01 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to redefine the term "health care professional." The new definition expands the category to include not only licensed physicians and health care practitioners but also any other employee of a hospital or health clinic. This change aims to enhance the protection of individuals working in these settings under certain assault statutes.

Additionally, the bill repeals the original section 28-929.01, thereby updating the legal framework to reflect the new inclusions. By broadening the definition of health care professionals, the legislation seeks to ensure that a wider range of hospital and health clinic employees are recognized and protected under the law in cases of assault.
