Criminal defenses and authorization for the use of force relating to a victim's sexual orientation or identity limited.

Maddy summaryThis bill prohibits individuals from using force against another person based on the victim's actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. It specifically removes the ability to claim self-defense or use of force authorization if the victim made an unwanted nonforcible romantic or sexual advance or if the two people had previously dated. The law applies to crimes committed on or after August 1, 2024, and does not alter existing rules regarding the use of force in other situations like arrests or property disputes.
