Posted in Religion on Mar 25th, 2009 No Comments »
The Markey/Duane bill, in and of itself, by key omissions in the text, selectively targets the Catholic Church in the state of New York, as well as other nonprofit organizations and for-profit businesses, and leaves public institutions like public schools and municipalities completely unexposed. Under state law, to bring a lawsuit against a public school or municipality, one must first file a notice upon the public institution within 90 days of the incident indicating an intention to sue. This bill does nothing to remove this notoriously short notice of claim obstacle as it applies to abuse suits against municipalities. This renders the statute of limitations window in the Markey/Duane bill meaningless for those wishing to sue public institutions:
