This bill amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically addressing the offense of aggravated assault. It adds a new category of individuals protected under the aggravated assault statute, specifically including "a United States postal worker or delivery driver." This inclusion expands the list of officers, agents, and employees who are recognized under the law as being vulnerable to aggravated assault.

Additionally, the bill introduces a definition for "delivery driver," describing them as individuals or teams employed or contracted to primarily undertake 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, ensuring that both private and public employers are covered under this provision. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
