Modifies civil action time limits for victims of sexual abuse, human trafficking, or sexual exploitation.
This bill removes time limits for civil actions by victims of sexual abuse, human trafficking, or sexual exploitation. It allows victims to file claims at any time, regardless of the theory of liability. For sexual abuse by a counselor, therapist, school employee, or adult providing training or instruction, claims must be filed within five years of the victim's last treatment or school attendance. The bill also revives previously dismissed actions and exempts these cases from state tort claims and governmental subdivisions statutes of limitations.
