MA S1200

Extends the civil statute of limitations for child abuse tort claims to 35 years from the alleged acts, or 7 years from when the victim discovered the emotional/psychological injury, whichever is later

Tolls the limitations period for victims until they reach 18 years of age, meaning the clock does not begin until adulthood

Creates parallel liability for negligent supervision claims against those who supervised abusers or whose conduct contributed to abuse by another person, with the same 35-year/7-year timeline

Defines "abuse" by reference to specific criminal statutes including indecent assault on minors, assault on children under 14, and dissemination of harmful material to minors

Applies retroactively to all claims regardless of when they accrued or whether they were previously time-barred under existing law
