Minnesota SF2924 expands fourth-degree assault crime to include transportation network company drivers.

Minnesota SF2924 amends the state's statutes to expand the definition of fourth-degree assault crimes to include transportation network company drivers. The bill modifies Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 609.2231, subdivision 11, to include drivers operating through transportation network companies under section 65B.472, subdivision 1, paragraph (m). This change means that assaults or intentional transfer of bodily fluids onto these drivers while they are on duty will be treated as gross misdemeanors.
