MI HB6237

Eliminates the 10-year statute of limitations for criminal sexual conduct claims under MCL 600.5805(6) and instead establishes a new framework in section 5851b for victims who were minors at the time of the abuse.

Extends the filing deadline for minor victims of criminal sexual conduct to the later of: 10 years after the claim accrues, age 28, or 6 years after discovering the injury and its causal relationship to the abuse.

Creates a one-year revival window for individuals victimized before the 2020 amendments took effect, allowing them to file claims within one year of the effective date if the perpetrator engaged in physician abuse or unethical medical treatment.

Exempts claims under section 5851b from the one-year notice requirement (MCL 600.6431) and three-year filing deadline (MCL 600.6452) for claims against the state, allowing extended timelines for sexual abuse victims pursuing state liability.

Declares the amendments are curative, retroactively applied, and apply to pending actions to express the original legislative intent regarding the revised judicature act.
