A bill for an act modifying the periods of time to bring civil actions by victims of sexual abuse, human trafficking, or sexual exploitation.
This bill removes time limits for civil lawsuits by victims of sexual abuse, human trafficking, or sexual exploitation involving minors. It specifically applies to cases against institutions like schools, therapists, or counselors where the abuse occurred during a professional relationship. The bill revives past cases dismissed due to expired time limits and ensures standard statute of limitations no longer apply to these claims. Victims can now pursue civil actions regardless of when the abuse occurred, as long as it involves a minor and the specified offenses.
