PASS - SGND BY GOV - Chapter 21

Mar 4, 2026

Summary

The bill eliminates time limits for prosecuting capital felonies, first‑degree violent felonies, second‑degree murder, and second‑through‑fourth‑degree sexual penetration or contact crimes, including attempts, conspiracies and solicitations. It also pauses the limitation clock for child abuse cases until the victim turns 18 or the crime is reported. The change is intended to give survivors a longer window to seek justice.
