Consent is defined as a free and knowing yes
What the document says“The term `consent' means an affirmative, conscious, and voluntary authorization made by an individual free from force, fraud, duress, misrepresentation, or coercion.”
The inserted subsection defines consent for its own purposes: an affirmative, conscious and voluntary authorization by an individual, free from force, fraud, duress, misrepresentation or coercion. Section 4 of this Act carries the same definition into the rest of the Act.
What the document actually says“The term `consent' means an affirmative, conscious, and voluntary authorization made by an individual free from force, fraud, duress, misrepresentation, or coercion.”
Saying yes must be real. The person must choose it freely. They must know they chose it.
A yes does not count if force made it happen. It does not count if lies made it happen. It does not count if fear made it happen.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
