Crime of sexual torture; criminal elements revised
Became law
This already passed. Here's what you can still do.
1. Push for repeal or amendment
Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.
→ Write to your rep3. Tell people the bill affects
Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill expands the definition of sexual torture to include penetration of the penile opening or touching of the breast or scrotum. Currently, the crime only covers penetration of the vagina, anus, or mouth. If passed, this change would broaden the types of acts considered sexual torture under Alabama law.
