New York A07271 prevents immunity from prosecution for the President from affecting the statute of limitations for criminal and civil actions.
New York A07271, known as the "New York no citizen is above the law act," amends the criminal procedure law and the civil practice law and rules. It ensures that the period of immunity from prosecution for a criminal or civil action that a defendant is entitled to by virtue of holding the office of president of the United States does not apply to the calculation of the time limitation applicable to commencement of such actions. This means that the time during which the President holds office will not be excluded when calculating the statute of limitations for criminal or civil actions.
