Proposition de loi visant à protéger les sapeurs-pompiers des violences volontaires par l'instauration de peines plancher
This is a French private member's bill (proposition de loi) from the National Assembly, during the 15th legislature. It proposes introducing mandatory minimum prison sentences for deliberate violence committed against firefighters (sapeurs-pompiers). The aim is to deter attacks on emergency responders, which the bill's title frames as a growing concern. Based on the title and metadata alone, the bill would tighten criminal penalties rather than create new emergency-service rules. Firefighters and other sapeurs-pompiers would be the protected group. People convicted of violently attacking them could face the minimum sentences if the bill passes. Courts would have less discretion to impose lighter sentences in such cases. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full text of the bill.
