New Jersey A1389 upgrades simple assault against sports officials to aggravated assault.
New Jersey A1389 amends the state's criminal code to upgrade certain types of assault against sports officials to aggravated assault. Under current law, an assault committed against a sports official would constitute a disorderly persons offense. Under the bill, assault against a sports official would be upgraded to aggravated assault, which is a crime of the fourth degree if the official suffered no bodily injury, and a crime of the third degree if bodily injury occurred. The changes to the law would take effect on the first day of the fourth month next following enactment.
