SENATE BILL 1086
RS30196 / S1086
The Purpose of this legislation is to correct an oversight from a 2007 piece of legislation extending the civil statute of limitations for cases under Title 6, Chapter 17 involving child abuse. That 2007 legislation modified Idaho Code Section 6-1704 to extend the statute of limitations in child abuse cases to allow a cause of action to be filed by the aggrieved child within five (5) years of the time the child discovers or reasonably should have discovered the act, abuse or exploitation and its causal relationship to an injury or condition suffered by the child, whichever occurs later.
The Legislation before you applies that same standard to child abuse cases involving a governmental entity or its employee under Title 6, Chapter 9. If a child has a claim against a governmental entity or its employee in the state of Idaho, the time for filing such claim is governed by the requirements of Idaho Code Section 6-906A. This legislation would update that statute to include the standard set forth in Idaho Code Section 6-1704.
