Pennsylvania HB462 extends the statute of limitations for sexual abuse victims to file civil actions.
Pennsylvania HB462 amends the state's statutes to extend the time limit for individuals to file civil actions for sexual abuse. Specifically, it allows individuals who were under 18 at the time of the abuse to file a lawsuit up to 37 years after turning 18. For those who were between 18 and 24 at the time of the abuse, the limit is extended until they turn 30. The bill also revives expired claims and applies retroactively to cases that arose before the bill's effective date.
