AI Summary
This bill aims to define and establish civil remedies for the offense of "indecent assault and battery", which includes non-consensual condom removal or damage. It amends the state's laws to create a new section that outlines various acts that constitute indecent assault and battery, such as intentionally or recklessly causing harmful or offensive contact with an intimate part of another person, as well as removing or damaging a condom or other barrier prophylaxis without the other person's consent. The bill provides for civil liability and allows courts to award damages, injunctive relief, and other remedies to victims of these offenses.
