People could sue if someone removes a condom or similar barrier during sex without consent. The case would need a link to interstate or foreign commerce. The bill allows money damages and court orders, but no criminal penalties.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who use condoms, dental dams, or similar barriers during sexual contact. It could give them a federal lawsuit if someone removes that barrier without consent. It also affects people accused of doing this, because they could face federal civil claims and money damages. Courts would have to decide whether each case has the required federal link.
Why this matters: This matters because people may not always have a clear federal remedy when someone removes sexual protection without consent. The bill would give them a specific path to sue in federal court when the case has the required federal link. It could also shape how courts treat consent, sexual health risks, and responsibility in these situations. The bill’s real impact would depend on how often people bring cases and how courts read its limits.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
