Bill Summary
For legislation relative to extend the statute of limitations for human trafficking. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to extend the statute of limitations for civil actions related to human trafficking for forced labor, services, or sexual servitude. Specifically, it proposes that such civil actions be allowed to be commenced within 10 years of the date the victim was freed from human trafficking, or if the victim was a child during the offense, within 10 years after the victim turns 18 years old. This change to the existing law is intended to provide more time for victims to seek civil legal recourse for the harms they have experienced.
