Civil procedure, statute of limitations for civil actions involving certain sex offenses further provided for

This bill extends the time limit for victims to file civil lawsuits related to certain sex offenses from six years to 36 years after the victim turns 19 or regains legal capacity. It directly affects individuals who experienced sex offenses covered under Alabama law (Section 15-20A-5), including those previously barred by expired time limits. The key change allows victims to file lawsuits within 36 years after the disability ends (like reaching age 19), applies retroactively to offenses before October 1, 2025, and creates a two-year window starting October 1, 2025, for those previously time-barred. The law does not change criminal statutes but provides a longer civil remedy period for victims.
