Silly and unnecessary law. The law they're amending arguably already made such contact illegal, this bill only adds two additional subsections specifically listing condom removal and subsequent touching as being offensive. Laws such as these should be written broadly, not narrowly/specifically. By including these two subsections the Legislature is indicating to defense attorneys everywhere that the existing broader language somehow did not already deem "stealthing" as harmful or offensive contact, which can be used to argue that a bunch of other sexual acts are not harmful or offensive contact unless specifically mentioned in the broader section. Good job busy body legislators!

Edit: On further reading this law also makes it an offense if the condom falls off during sex. "A person commits a sexual battery who does any of the following ... Causes contact between a sexual organ, from which a condom has been removed, and the intimate part of another who did not verbally consent to the condom being removed." So if you cause contact after condom removal, regardless of how or why that condom was removed, you are now liable for sexual battery. Fantastic! /s
