Summary
The measure updates Connecticut statutes to define what counts as sexual intercourse and sexual contact, and it permits criminal charges for either a single act or a series of acts treated as a continuous course of conduct. It applies to violations of sections 53a‑270 through 53a‑73a and affects anyone charged under those provisions. The change aims to reduce ambiguity in sexual offense cases.
