AI Summary

This bill extends the eligibility period for reviving civil claims related to sexual assault that would otherwise be barred due to the statute of limitations. It allows claims to be revived if the plaintiff was sexually assaulted, and either (1) one or more entities or persons are legally responsible for damages arising from the assault, or (2) an entity engaged in a cover-up or attempted cover-up of a previous instance or allegations of sexual assault by the alleged perpetrator. The bill specifies that failure to allege a cover-up as to one entity does not affect revival of a claim against any other entity or person, including the perpetrator. It allows such claims to be filed between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2026.
