What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryRewards states for nonconsent condom removal laws
This bill creates a financial incentive for states to pass laws that allow people to sue someone who removes sexual protection without permission. If a state has such a law in place, the Department of Justice would give that state more funding for its Sexual Assault Services Program, which helps survivors of sexual assault.
How it affects you
If you live in a state that passes this kind of law, your state would receive increased federal funding for sexual assault services, potentially expanding support available to survivors. States themselves would face a choice about whether to adopt these laws in order to qualify for the additional funding.

Consent is Key Act
This bill directs the Department of Justice to increase a state's allocation of funds under the Sexual Assault Services Program if the state has in effect a law that authorizes civil damages and equitable relief against a person who engages in the nonconsensual removal of a sexual protection barrier (e.g., a condom).
