This bill amends Oklahoma's statute of limitations for certain criminal prosecutions. It increases the time for which prosecutions can be commenced for crimes such as sexual crimes against children, embezzlement, and fraud. Specifically, it allows prosecutions for sexual crimes against children to be commenced at any time, rather than by the victim's 45th birthday or within 12 years of discovery for adult victims. It also extends the statute of limitations for certain financial crimes from 5-7 years to 12 years after the crime is discovered. The bill provides an effective date of November 1, 2023.
