New York S02453 removes presidential immunity from time limits for criminal and civil actions.
New York S02453, 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 a president spends in office will not be counted when determining the deadline for filing legal actions against them.
