 AN ACT to amend the civil practice law and rules, in relation to certain
 actions against law enforcement officers

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

 1 Section 1. The civil practice law and rules is amended by adding a new
 2 section 214-k to read as follows:
 3 § 214-k. Certain actions against law enforcement officers. (a) A claim
 4 arising out of an alleged sexual offense by a law enforcement officer if
 5 the alleged offense occurred while the officer was employed by a law
 6 enforcement agency is exempted from all state and local notice of claim
 7 requirements.
 8 (b) Notwithstanding any other limitation set forth in this article,
 9 except as provided in subdivision (b) of section two hundred eight of
 10 this article, all civil claims or causes of action brought by any person
 11 for physical, psychological or other injury or condition suffered by
 12 such person as a result of conduct by a law enforcement officer which
 13 occurred on or after the plaintiff's eighteenth birthday and while such
 14 officer was employed by a law enforcement agency which would constitute
 15 a sexual offense, such action may be commenced against such law enforce-
 16 ment officer within the later of:
 17 1. Ten years after the date of judgment against a law enforcement
 18 officer in a criminal case for a sexual offense where the judgment
 19 against such law enforcement officer arose out of the same set of opera-
 20 tive facts as the allegation in the present claim; or
 21 2. Ten years after the law enforcement officer is no longer employed
 22 by the law enforcement agency that employed the officer when the alleged
 23 sexual offense occurred.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 2 a claim seeking to recover damages arising out of an alleged sexual
 3 offense by a law enforcement officer, if the alleged sexual offense
 4 occurred on or after the plaintiff's eighteenth birthday and while the
 5 officer was employed by a law enforcement agency, that has not been
 6 litigated to finality or compromised by an executed written settlement
 7 agreement and that would otherwise be barred because the applicable

 10 revived and may be commenced if filed within either of the following
 11 periods of time:
