Battery against school and healthcare employees.

Summary

The bill would make battery against teachers, school employees, and health‑care workers punishable by higher fines or longer jail terms. It limits the enhanced penalty for attacks on Department of Child Services staff to those who directly supervise, serve, or interview children or parents. Employers of affected workers would have to submit semi‑annual reports on workplace battery incidents to the Indiana Department of Labor.
