Attorney General Josh Shapiro says recommendations from a state grand jury report that found Roman Catholic priests sexually abused more than a thousand children over decades will pass if given a vote in Pennsylvania’s Senate.

Shapiro spoke Monday while greeting victims of sexual abuse demonstrating outside Senate offices.

Senate Republican majority leaders haven’t promised a vote on all four recommendations. The chamber’s top Republican, President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, says one recommendation is unconstitutional.
