House Bill No. by Representative Mandie Landry amends Section 2 of Act No. 481 of the 2024 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature, specifically addressing the prescriptive period for civil actions related to the sexual abuse of minors. The bill allows individuals whose claims were previously barred by liberative prescription to file an action under R.S. 9:2800.9 by extending the deadline from June 14, 2027, to June 14, 2029. This change is intended to revive any cause of action related to sexual abuse of a minor that had previously expired under Louisiana's prescriptive periods.

The proposed law retains the existing provisions that express the legislature's intent to revive these claims, but it effectively provides a two-year extension for individuals seeking to pursue legal action. This amendment aims to offer additional time for survivors of abuse to come forward and seek justice, reflecting a commitment to addressing the serious issue of child sexual abuse in Louisiana.
