Relates to creating a private right of action for unconsented removal or tampering with a sexually protective device

This bill (A 1711) creates a legal right for individuals to sue their sexual partner if they intentionally removed or tampered with a condom or other protective device (like a diaphragm or dental dam) during consensual sex, or misled them about using one, without their consent. It directly affects people in consensual sexual relationships where protection was mutually agreed upon. The law allows victims to seek compensatory damages and consider emotional harm from risks like STIs or unintended pregnancy. It specifies that past consent to sex without protection doesn't imply future consent, and clarifies that this doesn't affect existing rights like child support claims.
