What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryLegal action for nonconsensual protection removal
This bill allows someone to sue in civil court if another person removes a condom or other sexual protection during sex without permission. If successful, the person who was harmed could receive money damages to cover their losses, punitive damages meant to punish the person who did it, court orders to stop the behavior, and other relief a judge thinks is fair.
How it affects you
This law would affect people who experience nonconsensual removal of sexual protection by giving them a legal remedy they can pursue in court. It establishes a civil cause of action, meaning individuals harmed could seek damages separately from any criminal case that might exist.
