R.I. Senate approves clergy abuse claims
The Rhode Island Senate unanimously approved legislation allowing previously expired civil claims for sexual abuse against institutions like the Catholic Church, with the bill now heading to the House for final approval. The law establishes a "revival window" from 2026 to 2028, enabling survivors to pursue justice for past abuse, and is expected to be signed into law by the governor. Survivor advocates praised the decision, emphasizing it holds institutions accountable and provides victims with an opportunity for justice.
