Statutes of Limitation for Child Sexual Abuse Reform Act This bill authorizes the Children's Bureau's Office of Child Abuse and Neglect to award grants to states to (1) eliminate their criminal and civil statutes of limitations for child sexual abuse, and (2) revive previously time-barred civil claims. These grants are in addition to any funds a state is otherwise eligible to receive under the Children's Justice Act grant program, which provides grants to states to support the investigation and prosecution of child abuse and neglect cases. The bill additionally requires states, as a condition of receiving funds under the Children's Justice Act grant program, to adopt recommendations from their program task force on eliminating statutes of limitations for child sexual abuse claims and reviving previously time-barred civil claims.
