Bill 326 may have received overwhelming support at Monday's public hearing, but one former lawmaker is hoping to broaden the legislation's language. The bill proposes lifting the statute of limitations for child sex abuse cases. In light of the allegations of molestation and rape made against Archbishop Anthony Apuron, Bob Klitzkie hopes senators will consider language that will punish not just the alleged abusers, but those protecting him or her.

"I think the bill needs to be broadened so that not only child abusers, but those who aid, abet, encourage, collaborate with, conspire, cover up, etc. may also be held liable, as well as their institutions and corporate sole," he explained.

On Monday, Klitzkie testified in support of Bill 326 as well as explained why past legislation with a similar intent failed. Specifically, the law discouraged attorneys from taking on any case because provisions detailed counsel would be disciplined if they failed to prove their claim.
