Bill > S2624

This bill, known as Kamisha's Law, seeks to eliminate the statute of limitations for certain non-capital homicide offenses in the United States. Specifically, the bill amends Chapter 213 of title 18 of the United States Code by adding a new section (§ 3302) that allows prosecutors to bring indictments or file criminal information at any time without a time limitation for various types of second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, and attempted manslaughter. These offenses include murders and manslaughters under multiple sections of the U.S. Code, such as those involving federal officers, maritime and territorial jurisdictions, and other specific circumstances. By removing the time constraints for prosecuting these serious violent crimes, the bill aims to ensure that perpetrators can be held accountable regardless of how much time has passed since the offense was committed. The bill also includes a clerical amendment to update the table of sections in the relevant chapter to reflect this new provision.
