This bill establishes a new criminal offense for knowingly assaulting or intimidating hospital personnel during the performance of their official duties in a manner that interferes with their performance of the duties or limits their ability to perform the duties.

Additionally, the bill authorizes grants to reduce the incidence of violence at hospitals, including violence or intimidation against hospital personnel in the performance of their duties.

The SAVE Act, also known as Bill 117 hr 7961, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of enhancing the security and integrity of the United States immigration system. The bill focuses on several key areas related to immigration policy.

One of the main provisions of the SAVE Act is the implementation of a mandatory employment verification system for all employers in the United States.

Overall, the SAVE Act aims to address various issues related to immigration enforcement and border security in order to protect the interests of American citizens and ensure the integrity of the US immigration system. The bill has garnered support from lawmakers who believe that these measures are necessary to address the challenges posed by illegal immigration and enhance national security.
