An Act enhancing remedies for survivors of childhood sexual abuse

This Massachusetts bill removes a $100,000 cap on damages for childhood sexual abuse claims and allows survivors to file lawsuits at any time, regardless of when the abuse occurred. It specifically applies to all claims involving minors (as defined in Chapter 260, Section 4C), including cases against public employees or contractors. The law retroactively covers past cases that would have been barred by statute of limitations. These changes expand legal remedies available to survivors without requiring proof of negligence for certain claims.
