Gov. Reynolds Statement on Signing SF 2431, Bill to Help Boy Scout Sex Abuse Survivors 

    
DES MOINES - Today, Governor Kim Reynolds signed SF 2431, a bill to remove the statute of limitations for victims of child sexual abuse by the Boy Scouts of America:  

 

“Those who were sexually abused while in Boy Scouts should have the ability to receive the greatest amount of compensation available. Even after an initial disclosure, it may take many more years before a victim is willing to file a legal action in a public court proceeding. We should not stand in the way of these survivors receiving their justified compensation. I am proud to sign this bill and I hope it brings some sense of justice and closure.”
