If the plaintiff is required to establish the plaintiff\u2019s factual innocence for an underlying criminal charge as an element of the plaintiff\u2019s claim, the action shall be commenced within two years after the plaintiff achieves postconviction exoneration in the form of a final judicial disposition of the criminal case.
