This bill, called "Virginia's Law," would create new ways for victims of sexual abuse and transportation for illegal sexual activity to sue those who harmed them. It would also remove time limits for victims to file civil lawsuits in severe cases of sexual abuse, illegal sexual activity, and human trafficking, even for past crimes. This means victims could seek money for damages and legal fees without a deadline for these serious offenses.

This bill would let the Senate Majority Leader take the Department of Justice to federal court. This action would be taken if the Department of Justice does not fully release documents related to the Epstein case, as required by a previous law. The goal is to ensure all information about the Epstein case is made public.
