Summary
Existing law provides that there is no statute of limitations for actions for recovery of damages suffered as a result of childhood sexual assault, as defined, that occurred on or after January 1, 2024. For actions for recovery of damages suffered as a result of childhood sexual assault that occurred on or before December 31, 2023, existing law provides that the time of commencement of the action shall be later of within 22 years of the date the plaintiff attains the date of majority, or within 5 years of the date the plaintiff discovers that psychological injury or illness occurring after the age of majority was caused by the sexual assault. Existing law generally limits the liability of a public entity for injuries to or proximately caused by prisoners or patients of mental institutions. This bill would, notwithstanding any other law, revive claims for damages suffered as a result of childhood sexual assault by an employee of a juvenile probation camp or detention facility owned and operated by a county, that would otherwise be barred as of January 1, 2025, by the applicable statute of limitations, claim presentation deadline, or other time limit, as specified. The bill would provide that the limitations on liability described above do not apply to these claims.
