Statutes of Limitation for Child Sexual Abuse Reform Act

An estimated 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 20 boys in the U.S. experience sexual abuse, yet the average survivor doesn't disclose until after age 52 — often well past the deadline to file charges or a lawsuit. This bill pushes states to eliminate civil and criminal statutes of limitations for child sexual abuse and to revive previously expired claims so survivors can still seek justice. States that adopt these reforms would be eligible for federal grants, with $20 million per year authorized from 2026 through 2033.
