A bill for an act modifying the periods of time to bring certain civil actions by victims of sexual abuse and other sexual offenses that occurred when the victim was a minor, entitling certain cases to a preference in trial order, and including effective date provisions.

SF 364 extends the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits by victims of sexual abuse or other sexual offenses that occurred when they were minors. It allows these cases to be filed within 10 years of discovering both the injury and its connection to the abuse, or until the victim turns 18, whichever is later - replacing the previous 5-year window for minor victims. The bill also revives previously time-barred cases, permitting new filings within three years of the bill’s effective date. Additionally, it entitles these cases to priority in court scheduling and includes a sunset provision for certain provisions, repealing them July 1, 2031.
