An Act Regarding Government Liability Related To Sexual Acts Toward Minors

This bill removes legal immunity for Maine government entities (like towns, schools, and counties) when their employees commit sexual acts with minors. It makes these entities liable for both intentional and negligent acts by staff, whether the misconduct occurred on or off government property. Crucially, the bill eliminates the statute of limitations, allowing victims to file lawsuits regardless of when the abuse happened - even if the usual time limit had expired. This directly affects minors who were abused by government employees and the entities that employed them.
