A 6382 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the use in evidence of the fact of possession or presence on the premises of condoms and other sexual and reproductive health devices

This bill prohibits law enforcement from using the possession of condoms or other reproductive health devices (like PrEP, lubricants, or emergency contraception) as evidence in court cases involving prostitution, sex trafficking, or related offenses. It directly affects individuals in sex trade or trafficking situations, particularly survivors of trafficking who face disproportionate targeting when condoms are seized as evidence. Key provisions amend laws to block such evidence in trials, hearings, and arrests, while requiring police training on these rules. The law aims to protect public health and reduce discriminatory impacts on vulnerable communities.
