AI Summary

  • Modifies the statute of limitations for civil actions to recover damages for criminal sexual conduct by referencing section 5851b instead of establishing a fixed 10-year period.

  • Changes gender-specific pronouns ("his or her," "he or she") to gender-neutral language ("the person," "the person's") throughout the statute of limitations provisions.

  • Removes the requirement that criminal prosecution or conviction need not have occurred for criminal sexual conduct civil actions, deferring those conditions to section 5851b.

  • Eliminates the definition of "adjudication" under the probate code and updates the definition of "criminal sexual conduct" to reference section 5851b rather than listing specific Michigan penal code sections.

  • Takes effect only if both House Bill No. 4484 and House Bill No. 4482 are enacted into law (tie-bar provision).
