CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SCS/SB 1360 - The act extends the statute of limitations to require an action to be commenced within ten years of the victim turning 21 years old or within three years of the date the plaintiff discovers or reasonably should have discovered that the injury or illness was caused by child sexual abuse, whichever occurs later.
The act is similar to HB 1436 (2004). This act is similar to provisions in CCS/SS/HCS/HB 1055 (2004) which was truly agreed to and finally passed.
