Relates to the timing of proceedings against a body or an officer
This bill changes the deadline for filing lawsuits against government bodies or officials. It requires such cases to be filed within four months after a decision becomes final and binding, unless the person suing was under a legal disability (like being a minor) at that time, in which case they have two years after the disability ends. If the government sends a notice by mail, the four-month deadline starts five days after the notice was mailed. The law applies to civil cases challenging government decisions or actions.
