Summary

The bill allows anyone who was abused as a minor to sue the abuser for damages. It also expands the legal definitions of first‑ and second‑degree murder to cover causing a suicide, negligent acts that kill a child, deaths occurring during sexual offenses, criminal mischief, terroristic threatening, and killings that happen while committing other serious felonies. These changes aim to give victims more legal recourse and hold more perpetrators accountable.
