Modifies provisions relating to time limitations for certain sexual offenses
HB 2320 removes time limits for civil lawsuits and criminal prosecutions related to child sexual abuse. It allows victims to file civil claims for damages at any time (replacing a previous 10-year or 3-year rule), and permits prosecutors to file criminal charges for sexual offenses against minors at any time. The bill also voids nondisclosure agreements in such cases, making them unenforceable. These changes apply to cases arising on or after August 28, 2026.
