Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

No time limit for certain homicides

This bill would remove federal time limits for starting prosecutions of certain non-capital homicide crimes. It would let prosecutors bring an indictment or information "at any time without limitation" for the listed offenses. Those offenses include second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, and attempted manslaughter under sections 1111–1121. If enacted, the change would take effect upon enactment, giving victims more time to seek justice and removing a time-based defense for some defendants.
