Pennsylvania's Solicitor General told members of the
State Senate on Monday that proposals to expand time limits for filing
sexual abuse lawsuits would violate the "remedies clause" of the state's
constitution, with some lawmakers saying they'll vote for it anyway and
others expressing doubts.
HARRISBURG, Pa. - Pennsylvania’s top legal office told lawmakers Monday
that it is unconstitutional to change state law to retroactively give
victims of child sexual abuse more time to sue, although some lawmakers
said they remain willing to support it.
