A bill that would have eliminated criminal and civil statutes on sex crimes going forward will not be taken up by the House Judiciary Committee next week.
Instead, Autumn Southard, spokeswoman for committee chairman Rep. Ron Marsico, on Friday told PennLive that the Dauphin County Republican planned to introduce his own legislation on Monday. That legislation will likely eliminate criminal statute of limitation, she said.
Southard said changes to the civil components of the law could be part of Marsico’s legislation, but the specifics are not clear. She said committee members were discussing the specifics.
“We’ll know Monday the specifics of that portion of the bill,” she said.
