Child sexual abuse; statute of limitations extended and further provided for, certain time-barred civil claims revived

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill, called the "Hidden Predators Act," would extend the time limit for filing civil lawsuits related to child sexual abuse. It would allow lawsuits to be brought up to 20 years after the victim turns 19 or two years after a criminal conviction, whichever is later. The bill also removes certain legal protections, like damages caps and immunity, for these types of claims and, if a constitutional amendment passes, would allow some past, time-barred claims to be refiled.
