Iowa weighs lifting statute to help Scouts abuse claimants
Iowa lawmakers debate suspending the state civil statute of limitations to boost eligibility for victims in the Scouts Settlement Trust. The $2.5 billion fund covers more than 82,000 abuse claims from Boy Scouts of America, with Iowa victims potentially receiving 60 to 70 percent less than others without a change. Critics warn of broad implications for civil liability and delayed justice. Leaders stress justice for survivors, while timing and committee work slow progress.
