Introduced Text

New Jersey A225 eliminates the statute of limitations for prosecuting human trafficking crimes.

New Jersey A225 removes the time limit for prosecuting human trafficking crimes, allowing such cases to be pursued at any time. Currently, most prosecutions must be initiated within five years, but this bill ensures that human trafficking cases can be prosecuted regardless of the time elapsed since the crime. This change applies to all offenses not yet barred by the statute of limitations as of the bill's effective date.
