AZ HB2141

Adds state or municipal park rangers to the list of professionals whose assault constitutes aggravated assault under Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-1204, subsection A, paragraph 8.

Park ranger assaults are classified as class 6 felonies, consistent with assaults on other specified professionals including teachers, firefighters, and health care practitioners.
