A 1386 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Increases statute of limitations for prosecution of vehicular homicide.

This bill increases the statute of limitations for prosecuting vehicular homicide from 5 years to 10 years under New Jersey law. It specifically applies to offenses committed after the bill's effective date, meaning prosecutors have up to 10 years to file charges for new cases. The change affects all vehicular homicide cases not already covered by existing 10-year provisions (like those involving school property). It does not apply retroactively to offenses committed before the law takes effect.
