This legislation waives the statute of limitations for certain civil actions filed against the United States government, specifically those related to the General Motors bailout . It applies to eligible complaints alleging a violation of the Fifth Amendment's takings clause , which were filed on or before July 9, 2015. By removing the statute of limitations, the bill ensures that these specific cases can proceed without being time-barred. The bill defines an eligible claimant as an individual who suffered death or personal injuries from alleged defects in General Motors vehicles manufactured before June 1, 2009, and who filed a proof of claim in the Motors Liquidation Company bankruptcy case. These claimants must also be represented in the specific "Campbell, et al., v. United States" complaint filed on July 9, 2015. The legislation mandates the United States to pay just compensation , which includes 2.5 times the allowed bankruptcy claim amount, compounded interest from July 10, 2009, and reasonable court-approved legal fees. Furthermore, if a settlement agreement is not reached within 60 days of enactment, the Attorney General must submit a report to Congress detailing the reasons.
