AI Summary

  • Extends the statute of limitations revival period for sexual assault claims to include claims that would otherwise be barred before January 1, 2025, with a filing window from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026.

  • Requires revived claims to allege both that one or more entities or persons are legally responsible for damages and that an entity engaged in a cover up or attempted cover up of a previous instance or allegations of sexual assault.

  • Defines "cover up" as a concerted effort to hide evidence relating to sexual assault that incentivizes silence or prevents disclosure, including through nondisclosure or confidentiality agreements.

  • Specifies that failure to allege a cover up against one entity does not prevent revival of claims against other entities or the perpetrator.

  • Revives related claims such as wrongful termination and sexual harassment arising from the underlying sexual assault.
