Why This Matters

This bill allows prosecutors to file charges for specific homicide offenses without any time restrictions. This change is important because it helps ensure that serious crimes can still be prosecuted, even if a long time has passed since they occurred.

If you are a victim's family member, you may see justice served even years after a crime.
