Child Sexual Abuse Accountability Amendment

The Colorado constitution prohibits the general assembly from enacting law that is retrospective in its operation. The concurrent resolution amends the Colorado constitution to authorize the general assembly to pass a retrospective law that permits a victim of sexual abuse that occurred while the victim was a minor to bring a civil claim for the sexual abuse. The concurrent resolution permits the general assembly to waive governmental immunity, by a law that is retrospective in its operation, for a child sexual abuse civil claim.
