Bill > SB00290

This bill, titled "An Act Clarifying The Meanings Of 'sexual Intercourse' And 'sexual Contact'," aims to clarify the definitions of "sexual intercourse" and "sexual contact" within the context of legal proceedings. Specifically, it proposes that any prosecution for violations related to sexual offenses, as defined in sections 53a-70 to 53a-73a of the general statutes, can be based on either a single act or a series of acts that occurred over a period of time and are considered a continuous course of conduct, meaning the actions are linked and part of a pattern. This clarification is intended to apply to acts that happened before, on, or after the bill's effective date, which is upon its passage.
