Digest
SB 792 revises the Penal Code to clarify and expand the definition of lack of consent in cases of sexual assault. It includes scenarios where the actor knows or should know the victim is incapable of consenting due to unconsciousness, intoxication, or unawareness of the assault. It also specifies that continuing sexual activity after the withdrawal of consent constitutes sexual assault. The bill references the definition of "consent" in Section 1.07 and updates related provisions in the Occupations Code. The changes apply to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025.
