SB 1432 revises Texas law on sexual assault prosecutions by clarifying instances where consent is absent. It explicitly states that an individual cannot consent if they are intoxicated or impaired to the extent that they cannot assess the nature of the act. The bill also updates related procedural rules and definitions in the Penal Code.
