The Legislative Assembly (AL) has passed a government-initiated amendment bill on sex crimes listed in the Macau Penal Code, which is slated to take effect 60 days after its promulgation in the Official Gazette (BO).
The bill was passed during a plenary session on Friday.
The new piece of legislation includes a separate category for sexual harassment with the offence now being listed as a semi-public crime.
