The bill amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes concerning aggravated assault. It specifically adds a new category of individuals protected under the aggravated assault statute, which now includes "a United States postal worker or delivery driver." This addition expands the list of officers, agents, and employees who are recognized in the context of aggravated assault offenses.
Furthermore, the bill introduces a definition for "delivery driver," describing them as individuals or teams employed or contracted to primarily conduct package deliveries using vehicles that can be operated with a standard driver's license. This definition clarifies the scope of who qualifies as a delivery driver under the law, ensuring that both private and public employers are included in this classification. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
