Senate committee advances AB 250 to extend time and accountability for sexual assault survivors
Summary
AB 250 would broaden how survivors of sexual assault pursue civil claims by extending timelines and allowing actions against perpetrators and entities that concealed abuse. Survivors and advocacy groups described barriers that delay reporting and access to justice; no opposition appeared at the hearing.
