Provides that, in any civil proceeding involving the alleged abuse or neglect of a child, an out-of-court statement made by a child 14 years of age or younger at the time the statement is offered into evidence describing sexual acts with or on the child by another may be admissible. The bill further provides that in any such civil proceeding, a recorded statement of the alleged victim of the abuse or neglect, made prior to the proceeding, may be admissible if the alleged victim is 14 years of age or younger at the time the statement is offered into evidence. Under current law, such out-of-court and recorded statements may be admissible when the child is 12 years of age or younger.
