SF 2489 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act related to the periods of time to bring civil actions for injuries that result from sex offenses against minors for the purpose of filing claims against the bankruptcy estate of a congressionally chartered organization.

This bill modifies the expiration date for a temporary legal exception that allows minors to file civil claims against a specific congressionally chartered organization for sex offenses. Instead of automatically ending on December 31, 2026, the exception will remain in effect until the related bankruptcy proceedings and all associated appeals are fully concluded. The change directly affects the timeline for victims seeking compensation from the organization's bankruptcy estate by tying the deadline to the final resolution of the case rather than a fixed calendar date.
