Criminal procedure: statute of limitations; statute of limitations for certain criminal sexual conduct violations; eliminate. Amends sec. 24, ch. VII of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 767.24).

SB 1190 amends Michigan's criminal procedure code to update the time limits for filing indictments against individuals accused of various crimes. The bill establishes specific deadlines for serious offenses like murder and certain sexual conduct violations, while introducing special rules for cases involving DNA evidence from unidentified suspects. For crimes such as kidnapping and identity theft, the law allows prosecutors to file charges at any time if the suspect remains unknown, but sets a final deadline once the individual is identified. Additionally, the legislation extends the filing window for crimes committed against minors and adjusts time limits for offenses affecting real property. These changes aim to ensure that victims have adequate time to seek justice while maintaining clear procedural standards for the legal system.
