HB 1301 revives civil lawsuits for sexual assault that were legally closed due to expired time limits, specifically for victims who were 18 or older when the assault occurred. It allows these cases to be filed between six months and two years after July 1, 2025. The bill amends Tennessee laws (Titles 28, 39, and 40) to cover defined offenses like rape, sexual battery, and incest.
