Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pa.

Pennsylvania Senators discussed the legality of extending the statute of limitations for child sex abuse cases on Monday.

It would give victims a longer time to come forward with their claims.

House Bill 1947 passed the Pennsylvania House in April.

One of the biggest proponents, Representative Mark Rozzi says that the chair of the Senate Judiciary committee, Senator Stewart Greenleaf, is trying to kill the bill.

Today senators heard testimony about the constitutionality of the bill.

No timeline has been established for committee action on the bill.
