OR HB3582

Eliminates the statute of limitations for civil claims based on child sexual abuse, allowing survivors to file lawsuits at any time regardless of when the abuse occurred

Eliminates the statute of limitations for civil claims based on sexual assault against adults (previously limited to five years from discovery of causal connection)

Removes the requirement that conduct "allowing, permitting or encouraging" abuse must be done "knowingly" to be actionable, expanding potential liability for those who failed to prevent abuse

Retains existing limitations for non-sexual child abuse claims: must be filed before victim turns 40, or within five years of discovering the causal connection to injury, whichever is longer

Declared an emergency measure taking effect immediately upon passage; applies to new claims and reopens pre-existing claims unless a final judgment has already been entered
