Prohibits using possession of reproductive or sexual health devices as evidence in a trial, hearing or proceeding in certain circumstances

Summary

The legislation prevents law enforcement and courts from introducing condoms or any reproductive or sexual health tool as evidence in criminal, civil, housing, health, or property cases, and bars their use to establish probable cause for arrest. It applies to individuals whose possession of these items might otherwise be used against them, aiming to protect public health and reduce discrimination against vulnerable populations. By removing this evidence, the bill seeks to safeguard survivors of trafficking and people unfairly targeted as part of the sex trade.
