NY: Attempt to Eliminate SoL in Sexual Assault Cases, Create 1-Year Window on Expired Claims

Last month, I reported that Pennsylvania was debating bills to remove or extend the statute of limitations for sexual assault cases.  The same is occurring in New York, where current law requires a lawsuit to be filed by the time an alleged victim reaches the age of 23.  On Monday, the state senate voted down (30-29) an amendment that would have forced a vote on eliminating the statute of limitations for sexual assault cases going forward and creating a 1-year window in which to bring expired claims.  It sounds as though other bills may be considered this session.  Syracuse.com has the story.
