AN ACT relating to childhood sexual assault or abuse.

HB 154 removes the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits by victims of childhood sexual assault or abuse in Kentucky. This means victims can file lawsuits at any time, regardless of when the abuse occurred, and it applies to both individuals who committed the abuse and entities (like schools or organizations) that failed in their duty of care. The bill also retroactively revives claims barred before March 2021 due to expired time limits, allowing victims to file within five years of the deadline. It defines "childhood sexual assault or abuse" broadly to include multiple offenses involving minors under Kentucky law.
