HB1062 — revise a provision related to aggravated assault.
What changed between bill versions as it moved through the Legislature.
The amendment reorganized and clarified the aggravated assault statute by changing the opening language from "Any person who" to "No person may," renumbering subsections to remove deleted provisions, and adding the word "realistically" to the requirement that a physical object simulate a deadly weapon. These changes NARROW the bill slightly by making clearer that simulated weapons must realistically appear deadly before they trigger the aggravated assault charge.
The amendment cleaned up the statute's formatting and numbering by removing obsolete references to deleted subsections and reorganizing the remaining aggravated assault provisions into a cleaner list (renumbering from subsections 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), while preserving the exact legal definitions and keeping aggravated assault as a Class 3 felony. This is a technical, non-substantive change that clarifies the law without altering its actual scope or penalties.
