Just before Gov. Phil Murphy issued a statement on his signing of S-477 into law earlier this month to ease time bars on certain civil suits alleging sexual offenses, he requested that legislative sponsors address a portion of the bill pertaining to public entities, such as schools and other taxpayer-funded organizations.

Murphy specifically requested that the Legislature “introduce and swiftly pass a bill that will correct an error in the section of the bill relating to the liability of public entities.”
