Bill Summary
A BILL To encourage States to voluntarily pass laws to authorize civil damages and equitable relief for nonconsensual sex- ual protection barrier removal, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Consent is Key Act, aims to encourage states to pass laws that authorize civil damages and equitable relief for nonconsensual removal of sexual protection barriers. It defines "nonconsensual sexual protection barrier removal" as the removal of a condom, dental dam, or other barrier against sexual fluids during sexual contact without the consent of those involved. The bill would provide increased funding through the Sexual Assault Services Program to states that have such laws in place, with the increase lasting for up to four 4-year periods. The bill authorizes $5 million per year for fiscal years 2023 through 2027 to carry out these provisions.
