As the New York state legislature plans to close up shop for its
annual session by the end of this month, the Catholic bishops are hoping
to run out the clock on a bill that would lift the statute of
limitations on sex abuse crimes.
A bill passed by the state Assembly would lift the statute of limitations on future sex abuse crimes against minors, which now prohibits lawsuits five years after victims pass their 18th birthday. The bill would also provide a one-year window allowing for lawsuits in old cases.
