Overview
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would allow the Alabama Legislature to revive civil claims related to child sexual abuse, even if those claims are time-barred under current laws. The amendment aims to provide survivors of abuse a greater opportunity to seek justice and accountability. It would establish procedures for handling such claims and acknowledges the difficulties survivors often face in reporting abuse due to delayed disclosure.
