Removes the deadly weapon or dangerous instrument requirement from aggravated assault upon a police officer or peace officer.
New York Assembly Bill A11088 amends the penal law to remove the requirement that a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument be used in cases of aggravated assault upon a police officer or peace officer. This change means that causing serious physical injury to a police officer or peace officer during the course of their duties will be considered aggravated assault, regardless of the weapon used. Aggravated assault upon a police officer or peace officer remains a class B felony.
