This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Pennsylvania, specifically to Section 11 of Article I, which addresses the accessibility of courts and the ability to sue the Commonwealth. The amendment reaffirms that all courts shall be open and that individuals have the right to seek remedies for injuries to their lands, goods, person, or reputation through due legal processes. It also stipulates that suits against the Commonwealth can be initiated as directed by the Legislature.

Additionally, the amendment introduces a new provision allowing individuals whose claims related to childhood sexual abuse are currently barred by statutory limitations, caps on damages, or immunities to file a lawsuit within two years from the effective date of this amendment. This provision aims to provide a legal avenue for those who have previously been unable to seek justice due to existing legal barriers. The resolution outlines the procedural steps for the amendment's passage and subsequent submission to voters at the next general or municipal election.
