AI Summary

This bill amends existing legislation to extend the statute of limitations for civil child sexual abuse cases, even if the person who sexually abused the minor is deceased. This means that civil claims can be brought regardless of when the abuse occurred or when the claim was filed, even if it would have otherwise been barred by time under Massachusetts law.
