Plain-language change summary

The amendment to SB 174 adds a clear definition of "public official" to include sworn law enforcement or peace officers when it comes to threats made against them. This change is significant because it helps to better protect those in law enforcement by specifically acknowledging them as public officials under the law, which may result in harsher penalties for individuals who threaten their safety. By making this distinction, the bill aims to enhance the legal framework surrounding the protection of public servants and improve overall public safety.
