What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law limits the time a prosecutor has to file a criminal complaint against a person or be barred, commonly called a statute of limitation. The limit varies by the nature and severity of the crime; for instance, for most felonies the limit is six years but there is no limit for homicide or first-degree sexual assault. Under current law, a criminal complaint for second-degree sexual assault must be filed within 10 years after the assault. This bill extends the period so that a criminal complaint for second-degree sexual assault must be filed within 20 years after the assault.
