Relating to certain actions for personal injury that arise out of a sexual offense against a child or disabled individual and are brought against a non-perpetrator of the offense.

SB 2079 extends the statute of limitations for personal injury claims related to sexual offenses against children or disabled individuals from 30 to 35 years. It creates a new legal pathway for victims to sue businesses or organizations (not the actual perpetrator) that failed to prevent abuse while operating a "safe environment program" (requiring background checks, training, and reporting protocols). To succeed, claimants must prove their case by "clear and convincing evidence" under Chapter 81B of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code. The bill specifically applies to injuries occurring during care by such organizations, covering offenses like sexual assault of a child (Penal Code §22.011) or trafficking (Penal Code §20A.02).
