Bill > HB1072

This bill, titled "No Statute Limitations Sexual Assault," amends existing Colorado law to remove the time limit, or statute of limitations, for prosecuting felony sexual assault offenses, specifically those violating section 18-3-402 of the Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.). Previously, there were time limits for prosecuting such crimes, but this bill eliminates those limits for felony sexual assaults, including attempts, conspiracies, or solicitations to commit them. The bill also clarifies that these changes apply to offenses committed on or after July 1, 2016, and includes a safety clause asserting its necessity for public peace, health, and safety.
