An Act Extending The Statute Of Limitations On Criminal Actions Involving Aggravated Sex Trafficking

LD 1427 extends the statute of limitations for prosecuting aggravated sex trafficking (a Class A or B crime) from 6 years to 20 years after the crime occurs. It applies to cases committed on or after the bill's effective date or where prosecution had not yet been barred by the previous 6-year limit. This change provides victims and prosecutors with a longer timeframe to pursue justice for these serious crimes without altering statutes for other offenses.
