Gov. Moore signed a bill to end Maryland’s statute of limitations for lawsuits involving child sex abuse after a report detailed the scope of abuse within the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
signed legislation on Tuesday to end Maryland's statute of limitations for when civil lawsuits for child sexual abuse can be filed against institutions.
State investigators began their work in 2019. They reviewed over 100,000 pages of documents dating back to the 1940s and interviewed hundreds of victims and witnesses. "Maryland has stopped saying: ‘Church, tell us what to do,' and said: ‘People, what do we do?’ We’re not beholden to the church anymore, and we should never have been," Lorenz said.
The Maryland law, which takes effect Oct. 1, is the only one in the nation that includes some caps for damages, Hamilton said. "The concerns we raised during the legislative session remain, including questions about constitutionality and the disparate treatment between public and private organizations in Maryland," the conference said in a statement Tuesday.
