SB 1084 - Currently, a civil action for recovery of damages suffered as a result of childhood sexual abuse shall be brought within 10 years after the victim reached the age of 21 or within three years of when the victim discovered that the injury or illness was caused by childhood sexual abuse, whichever is later. This act modifies the offenses included in the definition of "childhood sexual abuse" and includes actions to recover damages from injuries caused by nonperpetrator defendants. The act defines the term "actions against nonperpetrator defendants" as any action or claim to recover damages brought against a nonperpetrator defendant by any person alleging negligent or intentional failure to supervise a person that commits childhood sexual abuse, or that the nonperpetrator defendant's conduct caused or contributed to the childhood sexual abuse by another person including, but not limited to, wrongful conduct, neglect or default in supervision, hiring, employment, training, monitoring, or failure to report, or the concealment of childhood sexual abuse.
