HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Proposals that would allow victims of childhood sexual abuse to file lawsuits beyond the current statute of limitations in Pennsylvania are again moving forward. The state House voted on a pair of bills Monday, the latest development in a yearslong campaign by victim advocates. House Democrats voted unanimously in favor of the measures, while Republicans mostly opposed them. Both pieces of legislation are now headed to the GOP-controlled Senate for consideration. One version would require amending the state constitution, which would require years to become law.
