A Member's Bill introduced by Daniel Johnson MSP on 10 October 2019. The bill aims to give greater protection in law to retail workers, by making it a specific, new criminal offence to assault them; threaten or abuse them; obstruct or hinder them, particularly when the worker is applying an age-restriction (for example, asking for proof of age from someone trying to buy alcohol).
