What’s in it

This bill creates an exception to the statute of limitations for civil actions for injuries resulting from sex offenses against children, provided that the action is for purposes of making a claim against the bankruptcy estate of a congressionally chartered organization and the bankruptcy proceedings were initiated on February 18, 2020. The bill defines the term “child” to mean a person under the age of years. Under current law, a civil action based on an injury as a result of sexual abuse which occurred when the injured person was child, but not discovered until after the injured person is of the age of majority, must be brought within four years from the time of discovery by the injured party of both the injury and the causal relationship between the injury and the sexual abuse.
