HB 2022 seeks to eliminate the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits arising from specific sexual offenses committed against children or disabled individuals. The bill amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to remove time limits for filing suits related to sexual assault of a child, aggravated sexual assault, continuous sexual abuse, child trafficking, compelling prostitution, and indecency with a child. The changes apply retroactively to causes of action that occurred before the bill's effective date, with certain exceptions for final judgments.
