An Act enhancing remedies for survivors of childhood sexual abuse
This bill extends the time survivors can file civil lawsuits for childhood sexual abuse or negligent supervision that contributed to such abuse. It removes the previous time limits for filing claims, reviving cases that were previously barred due to expired deadlines. The bill also eliminates damage caps for these claims, ensuring survivors can seek full compensation. It directly affects survivors of childhood sexual abuse and organizations or individuals found liable for failing to prevent abuse.
