This bill amends the repeal provision of the 2024 Iowa Acts, chapter 1089, which established a limited exception to the statute of limitations for civil actions related to injuries from sex offenses against minors. The original law allowed claims to be filed against the bankruptcy estate of a congressionally chartered organization, specifically in a bankruptcy proceeding that began on February 18, 2020.
The key change in this bill is the modification of the repeal date. Instead of being repealed on December 31, 2026, the law will now remain in effect until the conclusion of the bankruptcy proceeding described in the 2024 Act, including all appeals. This adjustment ensures that victims have the opportunity to file claims until the bankruptcy process is fully resolved.
