Bill > S730

This bill amends existing Massachusetts General Laws related to governmental and charitable tort liability, which refers to legal claims brought against government entities or non-profit organizations for harm caused by their actions or negligence. Specifically, the bill adds provisions to Chapter 258, Section 10(j), which outlines exceptions to governmental tort liability, by including claims by or on behalf of individuals alleging sexual abuse as a child, as defined in Chapter 260, Section 4C. Additionally, it modifies Chapter 231, Sections 85K, 85V, and 85W, which deal with limitations on liability for certain entities and actions, by explicitly including civil actions for sexual abuse of a minor, as defined in Chapter 260, Section 4C½, within these limitations.
