HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) A bid to amend the Pennsylvania Constitution to give victims of child sexual abuse a new legal window to sue over otherwise time-barred allegations got new life Thursday, days after the disclosure of a paperwork error threw it into disarray.
Rep. Mark Rozzi, D-Berks, said on the state House floor that Republican leaders in both chambers were working with him and he hoped to get the proposed amendment on the spring primary ballot through an emergency process.
“We’ll be able to pass a standalone quickly and get this on the May ballot as originally intended,” Rozzi said.
