Senator Vickers introduced Senate Bill 68, saying the bill updates statute language to make clear an assault or threat against a child welfare worker is prosecutable even if the physical act or threat occurs later, provided the attacker knew the target was a child welfare worker; Vickers noted the penalty was discussed as a class A misdemeanor and that the bill does not further enhance penalties beyond prior changes in 2019.
