As a result of the findings contained in the 40th Statewide Investigating Grand Jury Report, released Aug. 14, state Sen. Lisa Boscola, D-Lehigh, announced a plan to introduce legislation based on two recommendations by the grand jury. According to Boscola’s Aug. 15 memorandum, one bill would amend the law requiring the reporting of abuse of a minor “to include language clarifying an obligation to report on an individual whom exhibits a pattern of abuse and/or is likely to commit additional acts of child abuse.” The other bill, Boscola said, would require “language that would allow parties to a non-disclosure agreement to cooperate with law enforcement or prosecutors if any or all so decide.”
