Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Criminal Code of 1961.  Provides that  the  use  of  a      
   deadly  weapon  in  committing an assault, other than by discharging a      
   firearm in the direction of another person, is a Class 4 felony (now a

        Provides that the Class 4 felony violation applies to  committing      
   assault  against  a person that the defendant knows is a peace officer      
   or fireman while engaged in official duties, to prevent performance of      
   his or her official duties, or in retaliation for his or her  official      
   duties, rather than the use of a deadly weapon against another person.

   committed against a person known to be  a  peace  officer  or  fireman      
   while  engaged  in official duties or in retaliation for or to prevent
