1 SB320 2 197764-2 3 By Senator Figures 4 RFD: Judiciary 5 First Read: 18-APR-19 Page 0 1 197764-2:n:04/18/2019:CNB/cr LSA2019-851R1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 SYNOPSIS: Under existing law, deviate sexual 9 intercourse is defined as any act of sexual 10 gratification between persons not married to each 11 other involving the sex organs of one person and 12 the mouth or anus of another. 13 Under existing law, sexual contact is 14 defined as any touching of the sexual or other 15 intimate parts of a person not married to the 16 actor, done for the purpose of gratifying the 17 sexual desire of either party. 18 Under existing law, mental defectiveness, 19 mental incapacitation, and physical helplessness 20 are individually defined and separated into various 21 sexual offenses. 22 Under existing law, forcible compulsion 23 requires physical force that overcomes earnest 24 resistance or a threat that places a person in fear 25 of immediate death of serious physical injury. Page 1 1 Under existing law, sexual misconduct only 2 involves sexual intercourse and deviate sexual 3 intercourse. 4 Existing law sometimes provides for offenses 5 to be committed only on a member of the 6 perpetrator's opposite sex. 7 Further, existing law defines certain 8 criminal offenses as sex crimes for the purpose of 9 application of the Alabama Sex Offender 10 Registration and Community Notification Act. 11 Existing law provides that directing a child 12 to engage in a sex act is one of the criminal 13 offenses defined as a sex crime. 14 This bill would redefine deviate sexual 15 intercourse as sodomy and include mental 16 defectiveness, mental incapacitation, and physical 17 helplessness in a broad definition of 18 incapacitation, and further redefine sexual contact 19 to include touching that occurs through clothing 20 without regard to marital relationship. 21 This bill would expand the definition of 22 forcible compulsion. 23 This bill would provide that certain sexual 24 contact can be an offense under sexual misconduct. 25 This bill would provide additional offenses 26 to be included as sexual torture. Page 2 1 This bill would also make certain technical 2 corrections. 3 Amendment 621 of the Constitution of Alabama 4 of 1901, now appearing as Section 111.05 of the 5 Official Recompilation of the Constitution of 6 Alabama of 1901, as amended, prohibits a general 7 law whose purpose or effect would be to require a 8 new or increased expenditure of local funds from 9 becoming effective with regard to a local 10 governmental entity without enactment by a 2/3 vote 11 unless: it comes within one of a number of 12 specified exceptions; it is approved by the 13 affected entity; or the Legislature appropriates 14 funds, or provides a local source of revenue, to 15 the entity for the purpose. 16 The purpose or effect of this bill would be 17 to require a new or increased expenditure of local 18 funds within the meaning of the amendment. However, 19 the bill does not require approval of a local 20 governmental entity or enactment by a 2/3 vote to 21 become effective because it comes within one of the 22 specified exceptions contained in the amendment. 23 24 A BILL 25 TO BE ENTITLED 26 AN ACT 27 Page 3 1 Relating to sexual offenses; to amend Sections 2 13A-5-6, 13A-6-60, 13A-6-61, 13A-6-62, 13A-6-63, 13A-6-64, 3 13A-6-65, 13A-6-65.1, 13A-6-66, 13A-6-67, 13A-6-68, 13A-6-70, 4 13A-6-71, 13A-6-81, 13A-6-82, as corrected by Act 2018-406, 5 the Codification Act, 2018 Regular Session, 13A-6-122, 6 13A-6-241, 13A-6-243, 13A-11-9, 13A-11-32.1, 13A-12-120, 7 13A-12-121, 13A-12-190, 13A-12-192, 15-3-5, 15-20A-5, and 8 15-20A-44, as last amended by Act 2018-528, 2018 Regular 9 Session, 15-23-101, and 15-23-102, Code of Alabama 1975, to 10 revise certain definitions and sexual offenses; to expand the 11 definition of forcible compulsion; to provide that certain 12 sexual contact can be an offense under sexual misconduct; to 13 provide additional offenses for sexual torture; to make 14 technical corrections; and in connection therewith would have 15 as its purpose or effect the requirement of a new or increased 16 expenditure of local funds within the meaning of Amendment 621 17 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as 18 Section 111.05 of the Official Recompilation of the 19 Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended. 20 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA: 21 Section 1.
