BILL NUMBER:S1974 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law, in relation to including employees of the office of children and family services on the list of public employees for which prevention of duties qualifies as assault in the second degree SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This bill would amend subdivisions 3 and 11 of the Penal Law section 120.05, specifying that any act constituting a misdemeanor assault in the third degree pursuant to Penal Law section 120.00 would be elevated to a class D felony offense if committed against an employee of a secure or limited secure residential facility licensed, certified and operated by the Office of Children and Family Services.

Unfortunately, assaults to these employees are not uncommon, and far too often result in serious injuries. Current law provides for enhanced criminal assault penalties to protect police officers, firefighters, paramedics, emergency room workers, school employees, and specific transit personnel, but does not extend such protection to employees at OCFS secure facilities. These employees require and deserve the same level of protection provided by a felony charge that
