	Victims of Sexual Abuse by Priests Oppose Bill Dayton Daily News March 31, 2006 http://ncrnews.org/abuse/Victims%20of%20sexual%20abuse%20by%20priests%20oppose%20bill [partial text from Abuse Tracker] Columbus — Victims of sexual abuse by priests sued Thursday to stop the state from enacting the abuse reporting bill that lawmakers sent to Gov. Bob Taft a day earlier, saying critical changes were crafted in what the victims called an illegal secret meeting. The House deleted a provision allowing lawsuits over 35-year-old abuse cases before passing the bill Wednesday, and the Senate reluctantly agreed to the change. Taft intends to sign the bill — unless the lawsuit ties it up, spokesman Mark Rickel said. Three members of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, said they were kept out of negotiations leading to the cut.
