The amendment would open a two-year window for adult victims of childhood sexual abuse to file lawsuits. 

Lawmakers approved it last session but it would have to pass a second time in order to make it onto a ballot to go before voters this spring. 

Republicans have said they're already committed to passing the amendment but it should be done in regular session.
