ALBANY — Despite criticism from those on both sides of the issue, the state Assembly still intends to take up a bill dealing with child sex abuse victims.
“The plan is still to do the bill next week,” Assembly Democratic spokesman Michael Whyland said Thursday. “Nothing has changed.”
Introduced Tuesday night, the bill designed to make it easier for victims to bring lawsuits was assailed by survivors for not going far enough while the Catholic Church opposes a provision that would allow for old cases to be revived.
Whyland said he doesn’t expect any changes to the Assembly bill unless a deal on the issue is reached with Gov. Cuomo and the state Senate.
