PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 708.2, subsection 2, Code 1997, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    2.  A person who commits an assault, as defined in section
  1  4 708.1, without the intent to inflict a serious injury upon
  1  5 another, and who causes bodily injury or disabling mental
  1  6 illness, is guilty of a serious misdemeanor.
  1  7    Sec. 2.  Section 708.3A, subsection 3, Code 1997, is
  1  8 amended to read as follows:
  1  9    3.  A person who commits an assault, as defined in section
  1 10 708.1, against a peace officer, health care provider, or fire
  1 11 fighter, whether paid or volunteer, who knows that the person
  1 12 against whom the assault is committed is a peace officer,
  1 13 health care provider, or fire fighter, and who causes bodily
  1 14 injury or disabling mental illness, is guilty of an aggravated
  1 15 misdemeanor.  
  1 16                           EXPLANATION
  1 17    This bill changes the statutory elements for two forms of
  1 18 assault – assault which is committed without the intent to
  1 19 inflict serious injury but which results in bodily injury or
  1 20 disabling mental illness and assaults against peace officers,
  1 21 health care providers, or fire fighters.  In the former form
  1 22 of assault, the language relating to the lack of intent to
  1 23 inflict serious injury is eliminated, as well as the
  1 24 requirement that any mental illness caused as a result of the
  1 25 assault must be disabling.  With respect to the assaults on
  1 26 peace officers, health care providers, and fire fighters, the
  1 27 requirement that any resulting mental illness be disabling is
  1 28 eliminated.
