AN ACT relating to public safety.

Summary

The law adds new groups of people—such as police, firefighters, EMTs, school staff and certain health‑care workers—to the list of persons protected from assault, making attacks a Class D felony (or a higher Class C felony during a declared emergency). It also lets public agencies create peer‑support counseling programs for these workers and requires that communications in those programs stay confidential, except for specific threats or abuse disclosures.
