Bill summary

Senate amendment makes the following changes to the 3rd edition.

Part XXI.

Revises the proposed changes to GS 14-233, which expands the penalties relating to the offense of resisting an officer, no longer defining the term physical injury. Amends the proposed Class I felony for resisting, delaying or obstructing a public officer in discharging an official duty to require it to be the proximate cause of an officer's serious injury (was, physical injury).
