This bill establishes a new civil cause of action in Minnesota for the nonconsensual removal of a sexually protective device, which includes items such as condoms and dental dams, but excludes intrauterine devices and hormonal birth control methods. The bill defines key terms, including "intimate part" and "sexually protective device," and outlines the circumstances under which a person can be held liable for such actions. Specifically, liability arises if a person intentionally removes a sexually protective device without consent and causes contact between the sexual organ and the intimate part of another person or their own intimate part.

The bill also details the damages that a prevailing plaintiff may receive, which can include general and special damages, punitive damages, statutory damages up to $10,000, injunctive relief, and coverage for legal costs. Additionally, it allows for confidential filings to protect the plaintiff's privacy and clarifies that the rights and remedies provided are supplementary to existing laws. The provisions of this bill will take effect on August 1, 2025, and will apply to causes of action that accrue on or after that date.
