Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding penetration and rape.
In 2016, ICJC brought H.B. 580 (2016) to the legislature, which unanimously passed and was signed into law. That bill repealed the Male Rape offense and consolidated all rape laws into one set of statutes that apply to all people, regardless of the gender of the victim or perpetrator. That bill neglected Section 18-6103, which still uses antiquated language alluding to the crime of rape only applying to female victims. This bill removes that sentence.
