Introduced Text

Extends statute of limitations for civil actions related to criminal sexual conduct in Michigan.

The bill amends Michigan's statute of limitations for civil actions related to criminal sexual conduct. It allows victims who were minors at the time of the offense to file a lawsuit at any time before reaching age 42 or 10 years after the claim accrues, whichever is later. It also revives any previously expired claims and allows a 90-day grace period after the bill's effective date for filing. Additionally, it limits the damages a single claimant can recover from a single defendant to $1,500,000 for each incident.
