The bill amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically addressing the offense of aggravated assault. It adds new categories of individuals to the list of officers, agents, employees, and other persons protected under the aggravated assault statute. The new additions include county commissioners, members of county councils, mayors, and members of municipal councils.

This legislative change aims to enhance the protection of local government officials by explicitly including them in the definition of individuals who are considered victims of aggravated assault under Pennsylvania law. The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its enactment.
