AN ACT RELATING TO COURTS AND CIVIL PROCEDURE -- PROCEDURE GENERALLY -- CAUSES OF ACTION

Summary

The bill lengthens the statute of limitations for victims of sexual abuse and related negligent‑supervision claims, giving them up to 35 years after the abuse or 7 years after discovery, whichever is later, and tolls the clock until the victim turns 18. It also revives previously time‑barred claims, requiring them to be filed by June 30 2028. The changes apply to both perpetrators and third‑party defendants, with special caps and interest rules for claims against the state.
