Bills Designed To Help Victims Of Child Sexual Abuse Move Forward In State House

Bills designed to help victims of child sexual abuse are moving in the Pennsylvania Legislature and could pass the state House in the coming days. The House Judiciary Committee voted Monday for a bill to eliminate the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse crimes and for a constitutional amendment that would permit a two-year retroactive window for lawsuits. Both measures are widely supported in the House, but the state Senate’s Republican majority blocked similar legislation last year.
