Title: Crimes and offenses, further provides for the definition of "sexual conduct"
Description: Under existing law, "sexual conduct" is defined as any touching of the sexual or other intimate parts of a person done for the purpose of gratifying the sexual desire of either party.
This bill would define "sexual conduct" as any touching of the body parts of a person done for the purpose of gratifying the sexual desire of either party.
This bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
Section 111.05 of the Constitution of Alabama of 2022, prohibits a general law whose purpose or effect would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds from becoming effective with regard to a local governmental entity without enactment by a 2/3 vote unless: it comes within one of a number of specified exceptions; it is approved by the affected entity; or the Legislature appropriates funds, or provides a local source of revenue, to the entity for the purpose.
The purpose or effect of this bill would be to require a new or increased expenditure of local funds within the meaning of the amendment. However, the bill HB104 INTRODUCED does not require approval of a local governmental entity or enactment by a 2/3 vote to become effective because it comes within one of the specified exceptions contained in the amendment.
Subjects: Crimes & Offenses
