Sexual abuse of a minor; time-barred civil claims revived for period of 10 years, Attorney General required to conduct public awareness campaign, discrimination for bringing suit, prohibited

Summary

The bill restores the ability to file civil lawsuits for sexual abuse of a person under 19, giving survivors ten years from the law’s effective date to sue. It also requires the Alabama Attorney General to run a public outreach effort and bars any employer or organization from retaliating against a survivor who files a claim. The measures only take effect if a constitutional amendment authorizing the change is ratified.
