Modifies provisions relating to civil actions for childhood sexual abuse
HB 1132 extends the time window for survivors of childhood sexual abuse to file civil lawsuits seeking damages. It allows victims to file claims within ten years of turning 21 or within three years of discovering (or reasonably should have discovered) their injury was caused by the abuse, whichever occurs later. The bill directly affects individuals who experienced abuse before age 18 and are now seeking legal recourse. This change applies retroactively to all cases filed on or after August 28, 2004, including those previously barred by older statute of limitations rules.
