Bill Summary

AN ACT AMENDING SECTION 13-107, ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES; RELATING TO TIME LIMITATIONS.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona law to extend the statute of limitations, which is the time limit for starting a prosecution, for certain sex offenses. Specifically, it adds a violation of section 13-3824 to the list of offenses for which prosecution can be commenced at any time, meaning there is no time limit to bring charges for this particular offense. This change is made within the context of existing statutes that define time limits for various crimes, including homicide, violent sexual assaults, and felonies involving misuse of public funds or falsification of public records, all of which currently have no statute of limitations.
