Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill modifies the definition of “consent” for sexual assault. Under the bill,
if an actor removes a sexually protective device such as a condom before or during
sexual intercourse or other sexual contact without his or her partner's permission,
there has been no valid consent to that sexual act.
