California AB1741 amends laws to define sexual battery and set penalties, and requires psychotherapists to inform clients of their rights if past.
California AB1741 amends the Business and Professions Code and the Penal Code to redefine sexual battery and establish penalties. It specifies that touching an intimate part of another person against their will for sexual purposes constitutes sexual battery. Penalties include fines and imprisonment in county jail or state prison. The bill also mandates that psychotherapists provide clients with a brochure detailing their rights and remedies if they disclose past sexual misconduct by a previous therapist. Failure to comply is considered unprofessional conduct.
