An Act eliminating the statute of limitation in civil child sexual abuse cases
This bill removes the time limit for filing civil lawsuits related to sexual abuse of minors, allowing victims to seek legal action regardless of how much time has passed since the incident. It also extends this rule to cases involving negligence by individuals who supervised the abuser or whose actions contributed to the abuse. The legislation applies to all such claims, even those that would have expired under previous laws, but limits liability for employers or supervisors to situations where they are found directly responsible for the abuse.
