HB 1301

This bill provides that a civil action or an injury or illness based on a sexual assault that occurred when the injured person was 18 or older and is barred as of July 1, 2025, because the applicable period of limitation has expired, is revived and action thereon may be commenced not earlier than six months after, and not later than two years after July 1, 2025. Dismissal of a previous action, ordered before July 1, 2025, on grounds that the previous action was time-barred is not grounds for dismissal of a revival action pursuant to this bill . As used in this bill , "sexual ass ault"" means an offense involving rape, aggravated rape, especially aggravated rape, sexual battery, aggravated sexual battery, sexual battery by an authority figure, or incest."
