Summary

This legislation changes the rules so that adults who were victims of sexual offenses or incest can file civil claims that were previously dismissed because the statute of limitations had run out or because required notices were not filed. The new window opens six months after the law takes effect and closes two years and six months later. It matters because it gives survivors a chance to seek compensation that was previously unavailable.
