The Pennsylvania House of Representatives approved a pair of bills Friday that would open a two-year window in which survivors of childhood sexual abuse could sue their abusers.
Both bills passed by wide margins, with HB 1 a 161-40 vote, and House Bill 2 receiving a 134-67 vote. Attorneys in Pennsylvania have long awaited such legislation, saying it would give recourse to many victims whose claims are currently time-barred.
