This bill would remove the deadline for filing civil lawsuits related to childhood sexual assault or abuse. Under current law, survivors must file their case within a certain number of years, but this change would allow them to sue at any point in their lifetime, no matter how long ago the abuse occurred. Who it may affect: survivors of childhood sexual assault or abuse, and those they may bring civil claims against.
