In plain language

The bill prohibits using victim intoxication as a defense in sex crimes.

This legislation makes it illegal for defendants in sex crime cases to use the intoxication of the victim as a defense. It specifically applies when the victim's ability to understand or control their actions is impaired and this is known or should be known by the offender.

Summary

Prohibits the use of intoxication of the victim as a defense in sex crimes where the victim is under the influence of any drug, intoxicant, or other substance to a degree which rendered the victim temporarily incapable of appraising or controlling such person's conduct and such condition was known or reasonably should have been known to a person in the actor's situation.
