Democrats will head both the Assembly and the Senate next month after taking control away from the Republican majority in last month’s election.
Tim Kennedy, Western New York’s only Democratic senator and soon to be part of that majority, said in a statement:
“With a change in leadership, I’m confident we’ll finally see powerful reform and long-overdue justice.”
One of those reforms is the Child Victims Act, a measure that, in part, extends the age limit abuse victims can file civil suits or seek legal charges.
The measure passed the Assembly twice, but has stalled in the current GOP-controlled Senate.
