Bill > SB1187

This bill extends the statute of limitations for civil actions related to criminal sexual conduct. Specifically, it allows individuals who were victims of such conduct to file a lawsuit at any time before they turn 42 years old, or within 7 years of discovering the connection between their injury and the criminal conduct, whichever is later. The bill also revives previously barred claims and allows them to be filed within one year of the bill's effective date, with a $1.5 million cap on damages per incident. Additionally, the bill updates the definitions of "adjudication" and "criminal sexual conduct" for the purposes of this section. The bill is tied to the passage of two other bills, Senate Bill No. 1188 and Senate Bill No. 1189.
