Bill > SB00555

This bill modifies Connecticut's existing statute of limitations specifically for cases involving fertility fraud, extending the timeframe within which a person can file a lawsuit for damages. Under the proposed legislation, individuals who have been victims of fertility fraud can bring a legal action for personal injury not later than three years after either the date their child reaches the legal age of majority (typically 18) or three years after the date the fraud is actually discovered, whichever occurs later. This provision gives victims a more flexible window to seek legal recourse, recognizing that fertility fraud might not be immediately apparent and that the impacts of such fraud can have long-lasting personal and emotional consequences. By providing this extended timeline, the bill aims to ensure that victims have a meaningful opportunity to seek justice and compensation, even if significant time has passed since the initial fraudulent act occurred.
