Save Healthcare Workers Act

This bill makes it a federal crime to knowingly attack hospital workers while they are doing their jobs in a way that gets in the way of their work. Someone who breaks this law could face a fine, up to 10 years in prison, or both, and the punishment increases to up to 20 years if a weapon is used, someone is injured, or the attack happens during a public emergency. The bill also allows the government to give out grants to help reduce violence at hospitals, including violence or threats against hospital workers.
