New York A01711 creates a private right of action for unconsented removal or tampering with a sexually protective device.

New York A01711 amends the civil rights law by adding a new section that allows individuals to seek damages if another person intentionally and without consent removes or tampers with a sexually protective device during sexual activity. The bill defines "sexually protective device" as any device intended to prevent pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections, such as condoms, spermicides, diaphragms, and dental dams. The court may award compensatory and punitive damages, considering the emotional impact and risks of sexually transmitted diseases and nonconsensual pregnancy.
