The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 541.073, subdivision 3, to apply the statute of limitations for minor sex abuse claims retroactively. It specifies that damages claims can be initiated against individuals responsible for the plaintiff's damages through either sexual abuse or negligence.

Importantly, the bill introduces a provision that allows claims to be filed for plaintiffs who were under the age of 18 at the time of the alleged abuse, regardless of whether those claims were previously time-barred. This retroactive application applies to actions that are pending or commenced on or after August 1, 2025.
