R.I. House Passes Clergy Abuse Legislation
Rhode Island lawmakers passed legislation allowing victims of childhood sexual abuse to pursue claims against institutions like the Catholic Church even after previous statutes of limitations have expired. The bill creates a "revival window" from July 2026 to June 2028 for filing these claims, symbolizing a significant move toward justice for survivors. The legislation follows a report exposing decades of cover-up and abuse by clergy, and is expected to be signed into law by the governor.
