Read the official explanation

This bill establishes the criminal offense of nonconsensual condom removal and provides penalties. The bill provides that it is unlawful for a person to induce another person to engage in sexual activity where consent to the sexual activity is based on an express verbal agreement between both persons that a condom will be worn by the person while engaged in sexual activity with the other person, and the person purposely removes the condom during the sexual activity without the knowledge or consent of the other person. A person who violates the bill is guilty of a serious misdemeanor, punishable by confinement for no more than one year and a fine of at least $430 but not more than $2,560.103.2 (special sentencing for sex offenders).
