Bill Summary
Relative to the use of sexually protective devices. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to address the issue of "stealthing," which refers to the intentional removal or damage of a sexually protective device, such as a condom, during sexual intercourse or contact without the partner's consent. The bill proposes to amend the existing laws to explicitly state that if a person agrees to have sexual intercourse or contact on the condition that a sexually protective device is used, and the other person intentionally removes or damages the device without permission, then there has been no valid consent. The term "sexually protective device" is defined to include various contraceptive and barrier methods, such as condoms, spermicides, and dental dams.
