Summary

The bill lets anyone who was abused as a minor file a civil lawsuit for damages against their abuser. It also broadens the legal definition of first‑ and second‑degree murder to include killings that occur during sexual offenses against children, forced suicides, deaths caused while committing certain felonies, and negligent deaths of children by repeat offenders. These changes aim to give survivors more recourse and to treat such deaths as the most serious crimes.
