Delaware HB75 removes the statute of limitations for civil claims based on sexual abuse of a minor by an adult.
Delaware HB75 amends Title 10 of the Delaware Code to allow victims of childhood sexual abuse to file civil claims at any time, regardless of when the abuse occurred. The bill removes the statute of limitations for such claims, enabling victims who were previously barred from filing suits due to expired time limits to pursue legal action. The legislation also addresses the potential for defendants to recover attorney's fees in cases of false accusations and applies to all types of entities, including charitable organizations and educational institutions.
