Stop Healthcare Violence is lobbying for Massachusetts legislation
that would make assault on health care workers a felony rather than a misdemeanor.
Such Massachusetts legislation would strengthen the penalty for assault or assault and battery on an emergency medical technician, ambulance operator, ambulance attendant or healthcare provider.
Senate Bill S.838 and House Bill H.1578
“An Act strengthening the penalty for assault or assault and battery on emergency medical technician, ambulance operator, ambulance attendant or health care provider.”
These Bills are co-sponsored by Massachusetts Senator Michael Brady and Massachusetts Representative Paul Tucker.
