Summary

The bill amends California's civil procedure code to let victims file lawsuits for sexual assault that were previously barred by the statute of limitations, as long as they allege a cover‑up by an entity. It creates new filing periods through 2027, defines key terms, and excludes public entities from liability. The change aims to give survivors more time to seek redress when institutions hide abuse.
