Compromise on a proposal to extend the statute of limitations for child sex abuse cases seems unlikely for now, according to the sponsors of two dueling bills in the New York state Senate.

Sens. Brad Hoylman, a Democrat from Manhattan, and Catharine Young, a Republican from western New York, have two different ideas on how to address cases of child sex abuse. The former is the sponsor of the Child Victims Act; the latter sponsors the Child Victims Fund. Both pieces of legislative aim to help victims of child sex abuse.
