Eliminates statute of limitations for human trafficking and criminal sexual contact prosecutions and eliminates statute of limitations for civil cases arising from human trafficking.*

Summary

The bill lengthens the period a human‑trafficking survivor in New Jersey can file a civil lawsuit against traffickers and related parties. A suit may be filed up to ten years after the conduct, ten years after a minor victim turns 18, or two years after the injury is discovered, whichever is later. It also tolls the clock for certain disabilities and bars defendants from using intimidation to defeat a claim.
