Bill overview
This bill aims to remove the time limit for filing civil lawsuits related to child sexual abuse in Massachusetts. Currently, there are statutes of limitations that restrict when survivors can seek legal recourse. This legislation would eliminate these time limits, allowing survivors to pursue legal action regardless of how long ago the abuse occurred. The goal is to provide greater justice and support for victims of child sexual abuse.
