HARRISBURG — Another panel, this time through state government, is being crafted in response to the Penn State University child sex abuse case.
The commission, which is expected to include lawmakers, agency officials and representatives of child-advocacy groups, will be tasked with searching for gaps in current state requirements for handling suspected child-abuse incidents.
While legislative leaders are still haggling over who should be included and are drafting the necessary resolutions to create that panel, Senate Democrats on Wednesday outlined a lengthy list of potential changes for it to consider.
