US HB7467

Creates a federal civil cause of action allowing victims of sexual abuse (18 U.S.C. Chapter 109A) and transportation for illegal sexual activity (18 U.S.C. Chapter 117) to sue perpetrators and those who knowingly benefit financially from such crimes for damages and attorney's fees

Establishes a 10-year statute of limitations for most civil claims, or 10 years after a minor victim turns 18, but eliminates all time limits for the most serious offenses including aggravated sexual abuse, sexual abuse, and sexual abuse of a minor or ward (sections 2241, 2242, 2243)

Removes the statute of limitations for civil trafficking claims under section 1595 related to forced labor, trafficking, and sex trafficking of children (sections 1589, 1590, 1591)

Requires civil actions to be stayed during pending criminal investigations and prosecutions arising from the same conduct

Provides a 1-year look-back window from enactment for victims to file claims that were previously time-barred, including refiling cases that were dismissed due to expired statutes of limitations
