Bill overview
This bill extends the time limit for victims of human trafficking to file civil lawsuits against perpetrators. Currently, the statute of limitations is five years, but this bill increases it to ten years from the date of the offense, or ten years from the victim’s 18th birthday if they were a minor at the time. It also allows for a two-year window for discovery of the injury. The bill aims to provide greater legal recourse for survivors and hold traffickers accountable, while also addressing potential delays caused by coercion or manipulation.
