SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Assault and battery. Elevates an assault and battery from a Class 1 misdemeanor to a Class 6 felony if the victim is a judge in any Virginia court, if the official was engaged in his public duties. The bill defines "judge" as any justice or judge including a judge designated under § 17.1-105, a judge under temporary recall under § 17.1-106, or a judge pro tempore under § 17.1-109, any member of the State Corporation Commission, or of the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission, and any judge of a district court or any substitute judge of a district court. Under current law the enhanced penalty applies to law-enforcement officers, correctional officers and firefighters and lifesaving, rescue and emergency medical squad members who are engaged in the performance of their public duties as such.
