Bill Summary
A BILL To eliminate the period of limitations for certain non-capital homicide offenses.
AI Summary
This bill, known as "Kamisha's Law," proposes to eliminate the statute of limitations for certain non-capital homicide offenses, meaning there will be no time limit for prosecuting these crimes. Specifically, it amends Chapter 213 of title 18 of the United States Code to add a new section, § 3302, which states that an indictment or information can be filed at any time for offenses such as second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, and attempted manslaughter, as defined in various sections of existing law (sections 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1116, 1118, 1119, 1120, and 1121). This change is significant because, under previous laws, there were time limits within which prosecutors had to bring charges for many crimes, including some homicides, after which prosecution would be barred.
