The Joshua Lacy Law: statute of limitations: felony hit and run.

Existing law requires the driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to another person or death to stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident and provide certain information to a traffic or police officer, as specified. A violation of this provision involving an accident that results in death or serious injury is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for 2, 3, or 4 years, or in a county jail for not less than 90 days nor more than one year, or by a fine of not less than $1,000 nor more than $10,000, or by both that imprisonment and fine. Existing law generally requires the prosecution of an offense punishable by imprisonment in the state prison to commence within 3 years. This bill would enact the Joshua Lacy Law, which would require the prosecution of an offense described above to commence within 6 years.
