New Tennessee Bill would Extend Statute of Limitations for Victims of Child Sexual Abuse Lawsuits
A bill introduced by State Rep. Jake McCalmon, R-Franklin, would extend the statute of limitations for minor victims of child sexual abuse by 15 years.
House Bill 1906Â would allow a minor victim of trafficking for a commercial sex act to sue up to 30 years after the victim turns 18 for injuries or illnesses that occurred as a result of the sexual abuse.
The bill will be discussed in the Tennessee House on Feb. 20.
