HARRISBURG— The Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence will award Legal Director Suzanne Estrella with its Luminary Award on Friday at its biennial statewide conference, Defining and Delivering Excellence.
The award is presented annually to a person who has inspired and influenced others to create positive change through their efforts, strategic direction, skillful execution and passion.
HARRISBURG—House Bill 1984 is headed to the governor’s desk for final approval after the Pennsylvania House and Senate unanimously passed legislation that supports victims and their children.
HB 1984 closes a legal loophole that required having an adoptive family lined up in order to terminate the parental rights of a person who committed rape or sexual assault that resulted in the birth of a child.
Gov. Tom Wolf is expected to sign the bill into law.
