What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person who has sexual intercourse with a blood relative,

if the relationship would prohibit them from legally marrying, is guilty of a felony.

"Sexual intercourse" is defined to require vulvar penetration. This bill expands the

definition of "sexual intercourse" to include cunnilingus, fellatio, or anal intercourse

or any other intrusion, however slight, of any part of a person's body or of any object

into the genital or anal opening.

Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,

the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a

report concerning the proposed penalty and the costs or savings that are likely to

result if the bill is enacted.
