An Act eliminating the statute of limitation in civil child sexual abuse cases
This bill eliminates time limits for filing civil lawsuits related to child sexual abuse. It allows victims to sue for sexual abuse at any time, regardless of when the abuse occurred or previous statute of limitations. The law specifically covers claims against abusers and entities (like schools or organizations) that negligently supervised the abuser or contributed to the abuse. It applies retroactively to cases that would have been barred by old time limits, but requires proof of negligence against the entity to recover damages. The bill directly affects survivors seeking civil remedies and entities potentially liable for inadequate supervision.
