Modifies the statute of limitations for certain actions from five years to two years
SB 1799 shortens the statute of limitations for certain legal claims from five years to two years. This change directly affects individuals or entities seeking to file lawsuits for specific civil actions, such as personal injury or contract disputes, by reducing the timeframe they have to initiate legal proceedings. The bill modifies the existing legal deadline without altering the types of claims covered, making the filing window more restrictive. The bill was introduced and first read on February 26, 2026.
