11 | this Section.
| ||||||

18 | victim of a crime described in this Section is willing to | ||||||
19 | cooperate or is cooperating with the investigation to enable | ||||||
20 | the individual, if eligible under federal law, to qualify for | ||||||
21 | an appropriate special immigrant visa and to access available | ||||||
22 | federal benefits. Cooperation with law enforcement shall not be | ||||||
23 | required of victims of a crime described in this Section who | ||||||
24 | are under 18 years of age. This certification shall be made | ||||||
25 | available to the victim and his or her designated legal | ||||||

7 | 98-1013, eff. 1-1-15 .)
| ||||||
8 | Section 115. The Code of Civil Procedure is amended by | ||||||
9 | changing Section 13-225 as follows: | ||||||
10 | (735 ILCS 5/13-225) | ||||||
11 | Sec. 13-225. Trafficking victims protection. (a) In | ||||||
12 | this Section, "human trafficking", "involuntary servitude", | ||||||
13 | "sex trade", and "victim of the sex trade" have the meanings | ||||||
14 | ascribed to them in Section 10 of the Trafficking Victims | ||||||
15 | Protection Act. | ||||||
16 | (b) Subject to both subsections (e) and (f) and | ||||||
17 | notwithstanding any other provision of law, an action under the | ||||||
18 | Trafficking Victims Protection Act must be commenced within 25 | ||||||
19 | 10 years of the date the limitation period begins to run under | ||||||
20 | subsection (d) or within 25 10 years of the date the plaintiff | ||||||
21 | discovers or through the use of reasonable diligence should | ||||||
22 | discover both (i) that the sex trade, involuntary servitude, or | ||||||
23 | human trafficking act occurred, and (ii) that the defendant | ||||||
24 | caused, was responsible for, or profited from the sex trade, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | involuntary servitude, or human trafficking act. The fact that | ||||||
2 | the plaintiff discovers or through the use of reasonable | ||||||
3 | diligence should discover that the sex trade, involuntary | ||||||
4 | servitude, or human trafficking act occurred is not, by itself, | ||||||
5 | sufficient to start the discovery period under this subsection | ||||||
6 | (b). | ||||||
7 | (c) If the injury is caused by 2 or more acts that are part | ||||||
8 | of a continuing series of sex trade, involuntary servitude, or | ||||||
9 | human trafficking acts by the same defendant, then the | ||||||
10 | discovery period under subsection (b) shall be computed from | ||||||
11 | the date the person abused discovers or through the use of | ||||||
12 | reasonable diligence should discover (i) that the last sex | ||||||
13 | trade, involuntary servitude, or human trafficking act in the | ||||||
14 | continuing series occurred, and (ii) that the defendant caused, | ||||||
15 | was responsible for, or profited from the series of sex trade, | ||||||
16 | involuntary servitude, or human trafficking acts. The fact that | ||||||
17 | the plaintiff discovers or through the use of reasonable | ||||||
18 | diligence should discover that the last sex trade, involuntary | ||||||
19 | servitude, or human trafficking act in the continuing series | ||||||
20 | occurred is not, by itself, sufficient to start the discovery | ||||||
21 | period under subsection (b). | ||||||
22 | (d) The limitation periods in subsection (b) do not begin | ||||||
23 | to run before the plaintiff attains the age of 18 years; and, | ||||||
24 | if at the time the plaintiff attains the age of 18 years he or | ||||||
25 | she is under other legal disability, the limitation periods | ||||||
26 | under subsection (b) do not begin to run until the removal of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the disability. | ||||||
2 | (e) The limitation periods in subsection (b) do not run | ||||||
3 | during a time period when the plaintiff is subject to threats, | ||||||
4 | intimidation, manipulation, or fraud perpetrated by the | ||||||
5 | defendant or by any person acting in the interest of the | ||||||
6 | defendant. | ||||||
7 | (f) The limitation periods in subsection (b) do not | ||||||
8 | commence running until the expiration of all limitations | ||||||
9 | periods applicable to the criminal prosecution of the plaintiff | ||||||
10 | for any acts which form the basis of a cause of action under | ||||||
11 | the Trafficking Victims Protection Act.
