Abstract
(HB6048 · 103rd Legislature) Civil procedure: statute of limitations; statute of limitations for criminal sexual conduct violations; revise statute of limitations and notice requirements for actions against state government. Amends sec. 6452 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.6452). Latest action (2026-06-09): Bill Electronically Reproduced 06/04/2026
Why this matters
HB 6048 would change the time limits and pre-suit notice requirements for civil claims alleging criminal sexual conduct against the state, affecting the state’s exposure as an employer and institutional defendant. While primarily a civil procedure change, it has downstream fiscal implications for state agencies and taxpayers if it enlarges the window for tort claims. The bill is at the introduction stage.
