Provides that act of sexual penetration committed without victim's consent constitutes sexual assault; defines term "consent."

This bill updates New Jersey's sexual assault laws by defining "consent" as a "freely given, knowledgeable, and informed agreement" and stating that sexual penetration without consent constitutes sexual assault. It clarifies key terms like "sexual penetration" (including vaginal, anal, or oral contact) and "intimate parts" to ensure consistent legal application. The law directly affects individuals charged with sexual assault, requiring prosecutors to prove lack of consent rather than relying on ambiguous standards. These changes apply to all cases under New Jersey's criminal code for sexual assault and penetration, replacing outdated definitions with clearer, victim-centered language.
