This bill, proposed in the Minnesota House of Representatives, aims to increase the penalties for those who assault sports officials during youth sporting events. It defines sports officials broadly, including referees, judges, umpires, and timers among others. If someone either physically assaults a sports official causing visible bodily harm, or intentionally throws bodily fluids or feces at such officials because of their performance, they will be charged with a gross misdemeanor under the proposed changes to the law. This is to ensure stricter consequences and to safeguard sports officials from violence and abuse during games.
