Read the official explanation
2024 Iowa Acts, chapter 1089, establishes a limited exception to the statute of limitations for civil actions arising from injuries resulting from sex offenses against children. The exception applies only to actions brought for the purpose of making a claim against the bankruptcy estate of a congressionally chartered organization in a bankruptcy proceeding initiated on February 18, 2020. Under current law, 2024 Iowa Acts, chapter 1089, is repealed on December 31, 2026. This bill modifies the repeal provision to provide that 2024 Iowa Acts, chapter 1089, is repealed upon the conclusion of the bankruptcy proceeding described in the 2024 Act, including any appeals thereto.
