This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Pennsylvania, specifically amending Section 11 of Article I, which pertains to the openness of courts and the ability to sue the Commonwealth. The amendment introduces new provisions that ensure all courts remain accessible and that individuals can seek remedies for injuries to their lands, goods, person, or reputation without undue delay. Notably, it allows for suits against the Commonwealth as directed by the Legislature.

Additionally, the amendment includes a significant provision for individuals whose claims related to childhood sexual abuse are currently barred by statutory limitations, caps on damages, or immunities. It grants these individuals a two-year window from the effective date of this amendment to initiate legal action, regardless of previous limitations. This change aims to provide justice for survivors of childhood sexual abuse by removing barriers that previously prevented them from seeking redress.
