Sexual acts between incarcerated persons and law enforcement; prohibit.

HB 1303 prohibits any sexual act between law enforcement or correctional staff and individuals in custody. It directly affects all jailers, guards, correctional employees, sheriffs, constables, and other staff working in correctional facilities or with supervisory authority over people who are incarcerated, on probation/parole, or detained. The bill explicitly bans all sexual acts (not just penetration), regardless of the individual's consent, and makes violations a felony punishable by up to $5,000 in fines or five years in prison. This amendment expands existing law to clearly cover all forms of sexual contact in custody settings. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
