What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the statute of limitations for second degree sexual assault,

which means that a prosecution for a second degree sexual assault may commence

at any time after the crime is committed. This changes current law, under which the

statute of limitations for second degree sexual assault is ten years.
