SSB 3194 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act related to the periods of time to bring civil actions for injuries that result from sex offenses against minors for the purpose of filing claims against the bankruptcy estate of a congressionally chartered organization.

This bill modifies the expiration date for a specific legal exception that allows victims of sex offenses against minors to file claims against the bankruptcy estate of a congressionally chartered organization. Instead of automatically ending on December 31, 2026, the exception will remain in effect until the related bankruptcy proceedings and all associated appeals are fully concluded. The change directly impacts the timeline for these specific lawsuits by tying the law's validity to the completion of the bankruptcy case rather than a fixed calendar date.
