 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 9558

 IN ASSEMBLY

 January 14, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. E. BROWN -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Codes

 AN ACT to amend the criminal procedure law, the civil practice law and
 rules, the public health law, and the insurance law, in relation to
 extending and clarifying the statute of limitations for certain
 actions involving child abuse, medical neglect, and medical negligence
 involving minors; and to repeal certain provisions of the criminal
 procedure law relating thereto

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds that survivors
 2 of child abuse, including abuse involving medical neglect or medical
 3 negligence committed against minors, frequently experience delayed
 4 discovery of injury and causation due to psychological trauma, familial
 5 coercion, professional authority, concealment, or collusion by parents,
 6 caregivers, or other trusted individuals.
 7 The legislature further finds that such abuse and negligence may
 8 constitute a continuous course of conduct beginning in childhood and
 9 extending into adulthood through ongoing treatment, misdiagnosis, fail-
 10 ure to disclose material facts, or continued concealment.
 11 The legislature further finds that existing statutes of limitations,
 12 insurance practices, and jurisdictional doctrines may operate to bar
 13 otherwise meritorious claims solely due to the passage of time, notwith-
 14 standing delayed discovery caused by such conduct.
 15 It is therefore the intent of the legislature to expand and clarify
 16 the statute of limitations applicable to such actions, recognize contin-
 17 uous courses of abuse or medical negligence, address concealment and
 18 collusion, and ensure meaningful access to justice.
 19 § 2. Paragraphs (a), (a-1) and (a-2) of subdivision 2 of section 30.10
 20 of the criminal procedure law, paragraph (a) as amended and paragraphs
 21 (a-1) and (a-2) as added by chapter 315 of the laws of 2019, are amended
 22 to read as follows:
 23 2. Except as otherwise provided in subdivision three of this section:

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
