Bill Summary
Eliminating the statute of limitation in civil child sexual abuse cases
AI Summary
This bill eliminates the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits related to the sexual abuse of minors. It amends the existing law to allow such civil actions to be brought "at any time after the acts alleged to have caused an injury or condition." The bill also applies this change retroactively, allowing claims that would have previously been barred by the statute of limitations to be brought forward, though damages against entities or individuals that employed or supervised the alleged abuser would only be awarded if there is a finding of liability on their part.
