BILL NUMBER: S2113 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the penal law, in relation to enhancing the criminal penalty for assaulting employees of a local social services district SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : This bill would add a subsection to Penal Law §120.05, entitled Assault in the Second Degree, specifying that any act constituting a misdemeanor assault in the third degree pursuant to Penal Law §120.00 would be elevated to a class D non-violent felony offense if committed against any local social services district employee while in direct contact with the public performing an assigned duty providing, or directly related to providing, public assistance and care.
