Bill Summary
Relating to the statute of limitations for possession or promotion of child pornography.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to extend the statute of limitations for the offense of possession or promotion of child pornography under Section 43.26 of the Penal Code. Specifically, it adds this offense to the list of felonies that have a 7-year statute of limitations, rather than the previous 3-year limitation. The bill also includes provisions to ensure it does not apply retroactively to cases where the prosecution was already barred by the prior statute of limitations, and to clarify that it takes precedence over any conflicting legislation passed during the same legislative session.
