Enhances remedies for survivors of childhood sexual abuse by removing time limits and damages caps.
This bill removes time limits for filing lawsuits related to childhood sexual abuse and eliminates the $100,000 cap on damages for such claims. It applies retroactively to abuse that occurred before the act's effective date, allowing survivors to seek legal recourse regardless of when the abuse happened. The changes also apply to entities that employed or supervised the abusers, provided there is a finding of negligence.
