Bill Summary
An Act to Provide for Civil Recovery Based on Nonconsensual Removal of or Tampering with a Condom and Considering Sexual Assault in Evaluating Parental Rights
AI Summary
This bill creates a new civil cause of action for a person who engages in a consensual sexual act with the understanding that a condom would be used, if the other person knowingly removes or tampers with the condom, knowingly uses a damaged condom, or misrepresents their intention to use a condom. The bill also requires the court to consider whether a child was conceived as a result of sexual assault or nonconsensual removal or tampering with a condom when evaluating parental rights and responsibilities, and allows the court to order conditions to protect the child's best interests. Additionally, the bill expands the definition of "victim" under the Domestic Violence Protection Act to include victims of the new civil cause of action.
