Sexual assault: statute of limitations.

Corrected a drafting error in the definition of 'entity' in subdivision (e)(5)(B). The old text read 'or other legal entity. entity, other than a public entity' (a duplicated word with an erroneous period). The enrolled version reads 'or other legal entity, other than a public entity.' This does not change the meaning but fixes a grammatical error.

Removed line numbers throughout the bill text, added passage dates (Assembly September 10, 2025; Senate September 9, 2025), added signature blocks for the Chief Clerk, Secretary of the Senate, and Private Secretary of the Governor, added page headers/footers, and removed the vote/appropriation/fiscal committee summary line. These are standard formatting changes for an enrolled bill.

Header changed from enrolled bill format (with blank fields for dates and times of passage) to chaptered format showing 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL' and 'CHAPTER 682' with the approval date of October 13, 2025.

Page numbering changed from page 96 with 'AB 250' footer to page 95 with 'Ch. 682' footer, reflecting re-pagination in the official chaptered compilation.

Governor's signature block updated from a blank line to the initial 'O', indicating the governor signed the bill into law.

The filing window for revived claims under subdivision (e) is now clearly set as January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027, removing the earlier January 1, 2023 dates that appeared in the introduced version. Claims that would otherwise be barred before January 1, 2026 are eligible for revival.

The public entity exemption in subdivision (e)(7)(C) was expanded from simply 'a claim brought against a public entity' to explicitly include 'a direct claim, derivative claim, and a vicarious liability claim' brought against a public entity. This narrows who can be sued under the revival provision by closing potential loopholes for indirect claims against public entities.

Subparagraphs in subdivision (e)(2) were renumbered from the confusing order (A), (C), (B) to the correct sequential order (A), (B), with all cross-references updated accordingly.

The definition of 'legally responsible' was corrected from 'the entity person, entity, or entities are liable' to 'the person, entity, or entities are liable,' removing a redundant word.

Minor grammatical fixes throughout, including removing a redundant 'all' in subdivision (e)(2) and cleaning up duplicated text in the definition of legal responsibility for damages arising out of sexual assault.

The definition of 'entity' in subdivision (e)(5)(B) now ends with the phrase 'other than a public entity,' explicitly excluding public entities from the scope of the revival provisions that apply to entities.

A new sentence is added to subdivision (e)(7)(C) stating that for any claim against the perpetrator or other persons, a public entity shall not have a duty to indemnify the perpetrator or other persons under Section 825 of the Government Code or any other law.

The public entity exemption in subdivision (e)(7)(C) was cleaned up. The prior version contained what appeared to be a duplicated sentence ('A claim brought against a public entity. A claim, including a direct claim...'). The new version consolidates this into a single clear sentence.
