Criminal Offenses Against Law Enforcement Officers and Other Personnel

Summary

The Officer Jason Raynor Act expands the definition of protected officers, makes it illegal to resist or use force against them, and raises the classification and minimum sentences for assaults, batteries and murders involving those officers. It applies to police, corrections staff, probation officers, firefighters, EMTs, certain security and utility workers, and others performing official duties. The changes aim to deter violence against first‑responders by imposing harsher punishments.
