AI Summary
This bill eliminates the statute of limitations for actions seeking damages for childhood sexual assault. Specifically, it removes the time limits for commencing actions against perpetrators, entities with a duty of care, or entities that intentionally covered up the sexual assault. The bill also allows plaintiffs over 40 years old to file claims without having to meet certain conditions, and it specifies that the provisions apply to claims where the childhood sexual assault occurred on or after January 1, 2024. Additionally, the bill exempts these types of claims from needing to be presented to a government entity before filing a lawsuit.
