HF766

The bill H. F. No. 766 is proposing to change the penalties for assaulting a police officer in Minnesota. It seeks to amend the current laws to make the act of physically assaulting a police officer a felony offense, with possible penalties including up to two years in prison, a fine of up to $4,000, or both. Additionally, if the assault results in bodily harm or involves transferring bodily fluids or feces towards an officer, the penalties could increase to up to three years in prison or a fine of up to $6,000, or both. This bill has been introduced and referred to the Committee on Public Safety Finance and Policy for further consideration.
