Summary

The bill lengthens the time survivors of sexual abuse have to sue, giving minors up to 37 years after turning 18 and those aged 18‑23 until age 30, and adds a two‑year revival window after a deadline expires. It also allows the Commonwealth and local agencies to be sued for sexual abuse caused by negligence, overriding sovereign immunity. The changes apply retroactively to existing claims.
