H.R.10009

Extends statute of limitations for bribery or theft offenses involving public officials or federal funds.

The BAD Act amends section 3282 of title 18, United States Code, to extend the statute of limitations for bribery or theft offenses concerning public officials or federal funds. The amendment specifies that the limitations period will not begin until the offense is discovered by, or reported to, a federal law enforcement agency. This change aims to ensure that public officials or federal funds-related bribery or theft offenses are not subject to the statute of limitations until they are officially reported.
