HB5014

HB5014 extends the statute of limitations for various offenses, particularly those involving minors or sexual offenses.

HB5014 amends the Criminal Code of 2012 to extend the time limits for initiating prosecutions for several offenses. For crimes involving minors, such as criminal sexual abuse, the prosecution can be initiated at any time if the victim was under 18 at the time of the offense. For other offenses, like armed robbery or kidnapping, the prosecution can be initiated within one year after the discovery of the offense if corroborating physical evidence is available.
