Actions for damages: felony offenses.

Abstract

Existing law authorizes, except as provided, an action for damages against a defendant based upon the defendant's commission of a felony offense for which the defendant has been convicted to be commenced within 10 years of the date on which the defendant is discharged from parole if the conviction was for any of certain serious felonies, as defined, except as specified. This bill would authorize, except as provided, an action for damages against a defendant who was found not guilty by reason of insanity to be commenced within 10 years of a specified date. The bill would also make nonsubstantive changes and update a cross-reference in these provisions.
