2017 House Bill 4661

Senate Roll Call 277: Passed

To allow a victim of female genital mutilation to sue for damages. House Bill 4641 increases the statute of limitations so a suit could be filed any time before the victim reaches age 18. Other bills would make it a crime subject to 15 years in prison to perform a clitoridectomy, infibulation, or other female genital mutilation on a girl age 17 or younger.
