2009 House Bill 4315

Revise prisoner/corrections staffer sex law

Introduced in the House

Introduced by Rep. Mark Meadows (D-69)

To revise the definition of second degree criminal sexual contact (CSC 2) that applies to sex between a county jail prisoner or probationer and a county or state corrections employee or contractor. Under current law, this is by definition CSC 2, regardless of the context or circumstances.
