Makes battery: (1) a Level 6 felony instead of a Class B misdemeanor if the offense is committed against certain judicial officers while the judicial officers are engaged in the judicial officers' official duties; and (2) a Level 5 felony instead of a Class B misdemeanor if the offense results in bodily injury to certain judicial officers while the judicial officers are engaged in the judicial officers' official duties or the person who committed the offense placed certain infected bodily fluids or wastes on certain judicial officers. Provides that certain judicial officers: (1) may possess and use a firearm in the same locations that a law enforcement officer who is authorized to carry a firearm may possess a firearm while the law enforcement officer is engaged in the execution of the law enforcement officer's official duties; and (2) may not be prohibited from possessing a firearm on land or in buildings and other structures owned or leased by the state or any agency of state government or a political subdivision. Specifies that a judicial officer who possesses and uses a firearm has the same civil and criminal immunities and defenses that a law enforcement officer has when the law enforcement officer: (1) possesses and uses a firearm; and (2) is engaged in the execution of the law enforcement officer's official duties.
