Bill Summary
Relating to the prosecution of the offense of sexual assault.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Texas Penal Code to expand the circumstances under which sexual assault is considered to be "without the consent of the other person." Specifically, the bill adds new provisions stating that sexual assault occurs without consent if the actor knows the other person is intoxicated and incapable of appraising the nature of the act, if the actor persists in the act after the other person has withdrawn consent, or if the actor is a caregiver hired to assist the other person and exploits the other person's dependency. The bill applies only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2021.
