AN ACT relating to childhood sexual assault or abuse.

Summary

The measure rewrites the definition of childhood sexual assault or abuse and lets victims file civil lawsuits at any time, or within ten years after turning 18 if the older rule applies. It also allows suits against both the perpetrator and any entity whose employee or agent caused the abuse, and requires court records to be sealed until certain motions are resolved. The changes apply retroactively and revive claims that were previously time‑barred.
