Summary

HB 459 adds an offense that makes it illegal to purposely move or remove human remains, and it removes any time limit for prosecuting that crime. The bill also changes how delinquent children are sentenced, sets new limits on how long prosecutors have to bring certain crimes, and adds mandatory prison terms and DNA‑matching rules for serious offenses. These changes aim to strengthen protections for victims and ensure harsher penalties for repeat violent offenders.
