Proposition de loi visant à créer une circonstance aggravante lorsque des violences volontaires sont commises par un professionnel de santé

This is a private member's bill tabled in the French National Assembly (15th legislature) that would create an aggravating circumstance in criminal law. Under it, when voluntary violence is committed by a healthcare professional, the offence would carry a harsher penalty than the same violence committed by someone without that status. The aim is to address abuses of the trust and authority linked to medical roles. The bill would mainly affect healthcare professionals who commit violent acts, as well as their patients and others who come into contact with them. Based on the title alone, it would change how courts sentence such offences; the exact scope and penalty levels are not visible in this metadata.
