What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person may bring a civil action for injury resulting from being sexually assaulted or subject to incest as a child, or from being subject to sexual contact by a member of the clergy as a child, at any time before the injured party reaches the age of 35.
This bill increases the time limit for bringing those actions to any time before the injured party reaches the age of 45. In addition, the bill applies this time period to a broader range of actions. Under the bill, the new time limit applies to any action for injury resulting from being subject, as a child, to any sexual contact by an adult or by an adult member of the clergy.
