Colorado Senate Fails to Pass Amendment on Child Sex Abuse Lawsuits

The proposed amendment aimed to remove the statute of limitations for child sex abuse lawsuits, but lacked the necessary Republican support.

A resolution to amend Colorado's constitution to eliminate the statute of limitations on child sex abuse lawsuits failed in the Senate.
The amendment required a two-thirds majority but fell one vote short due to unanimous Republican opposition.
Supporters argued the change would allow victims to seek justice years after abuse, while opponents cited constitutional concerns.
The failure of the resolution means it will not appear on the November ballot, missing the opportunity for public voting.
This marks a significant setback for advocates who have been pushing for legal reforms to support survivors of child sex abuse.
