Plain-English Summary
Section 25-21,290 is a naming provision. It states that sections 25-21,290 to 25-21,296 are known and may be cited as the Exploited Children’s Civil Remedy Act. That name is not incidental — later sections and any court filing referring to this cluster of provisions use it as shorthand for the whole scheme.
The sections that follow build out that scheme: definitions of the terms the act relies on, the civil cause of action itself and its remedies, a limitation period, the option to sue under a pseudonym, a list of defenses that are not available to a defendant, and the Attorney General’s power to pursue a case on a victim’s behalf.
