AI Summary
This bill amends New York's "rape shield law" to clarify the rules of evidence regarding the admissibility of a victim's sexual conduct in sex offense cases. The bill specifies that evidence of a victim's sexual conduct is generally not admissible in such prosecutions, unless it meets certain exceptions outlined in the existing law. This aims to protect victims of sexual offenses by limiting the introduction of potentially prejudicial evidence about their prior sexual history during trial.
