Modifies the statutes of limitations for civil actions based on certain sexual offenses
SJR 13 proposes to extend the deadline for filing civil lawsuits related to certain sexual offenses. The bill would modify existing statutes of limitations, allowing victims more time to pursue civil claims after an offense occurs. This change directly affects individuals who have experienced qualifying sexual offenses and wish to seek civil remedies through the court system. The key provision increases the time window for filing such lawsuits, without altering criminal prosecution timelines.
