New Jersey S1988 eliminates the statute of limitations for human trafficking crimes.

New Jersey S1988 removes the time limit for prosecuting human trafficking offenses, allowing such prosecutions to be initiated at any time. This change affects statutes related to human trafficking, ensuring that victims and authorities are not constrained by a fixed period to bring these serious charges. The bill amends N.J.S.2C:1-6 to allow for indefinite prosecution of these crimes, which currently have a five-year limitation.
