Tricia Ambrose and David MacMain were asked to contribute to the Pennsylvania Municipal League (PML) Winter 2020 Municipal Reporter: Risk Management Edition. The PML’s mission is to “Strengthen, empower, and advocate for effective local government.”
Ms. Ambrose’s article discussed the sexual abuse exception to the Pennsylvania Political Subdivision Tort Claims Act, how the exception can affect municipalities and how municipalities can limit and manage risk associated with the new exception.
Mr. MacMain’s article focused on the importance of municipalities and law enforcement agencies maintaining and enforcing policies and records in order to guide staff and mitigate risk.
