Scout's Honor Law Summary

• Eliminates the statute of limitations for civil actions based on childhood sexual abuse claims only when filed against bankruptcy estates of organizations chartered under federal law (specifically Boy Scouts of America).

• Extends the general limitations period for childhood sexual abuse claims from one year to twelve years after the victim reaches age of majority, with fraud tolling provisions for claims occurring on or after August 3, 2006.

• Creates a mechanism for sex offenders and child-victim offenders convicted of offenses prior to January 1, 2008, to be reclassified under the pre-2008 SORN law classification system through court hearings initiated within one year of this law's effective date.

• Establishes that reclassified offenders receive credit for compliance time under their previous classification and must receive at least 30 days' notice of reclassification hearings with right to counsel representation.

• Declares the elimination of limitations period for bankruptcy claims an emergency measure effective immediately; authorizes automatic repeal of this specific provision five years after enactment, reverting to the twelve-year limitations period.
