This bill amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically addressing the offense of aggravated assault. It expands the list of individuals who are protected under the aggravated assault statute by adding new categories of public officials. The new insertions include county commissioners, members of county councils, mayors, and members of municipal councils as individuals whose assault is classified as aggravated assault under the law.

The amendments aim to enhance the legal protections for these public officials by recognizing them explicitly in the aggravated assault provisions. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment.
