Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the statute of limitations in civil child sexual abuse cases. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to amend a previous law to allow for civil lawsuits related to child sexual abuse cases even if the abuser is deceased, regardless of when the abuse occurred or when the lawsuit was filed. This change is intended to provide more opportunities for survivors of child sexual abuse to seek justice, as the statute of limitations may have otherwise barred their claims against a deceased perpetrator.
