Statutes of Limitation for Child Sexual Abuse Reform Act
This bill would remove time limits for filing civil and criminal cases related to child sexual abuse, exploitation, and sex trafficking, directly helping survivors who have been unable to seek justice due to expired statutes of limitations. It requires states to eliminate all civil and criminal statutes of limitations for these crimes and to revive previously time-barred civil claims, with a minimum of two years or until the victim turns 55 - whichever is longer. The bill also provides federal grants to states that adopt these reforms, with funding increasing based on how many changes they implement (e.g., 40% for states achieving all three key reforms).
