A bill for an act modifying the periods of time to bring certain civil actions by victims of sexual abuse and other sexual offenses that occurred when the victim was a minor, entitling certain cases to a preference in trial order, and including effective date provisions.

Summary

The bill lengthens the time victims have to sue for sexual abuse that happened when they were minors, and it lets those cases move ahead of others in court. It also revives claims that were previously barred and sets the law to take effect immediately. The changes apply to abuse by counselors, therapists, school staff and other adult trainers.
