Relates to removing the ten year time period from the crime of persistent sexual abuse

This bill removes the ten-year time limit for charging the crime of persistent sexual abuse, allowing prosecutors to pursue cases based on past actions regardless of how much time has passed. It directly affects individuals who have previously been convicted of specific sexual offenses, such as forcible touching or sexual abuse, by eliminating the requirement that new convictions occur within a decade of the prior ones. The law still requires that a person has been convicted two or more times for these crimes in separate incidents, and it excludes any time spent in prison from the calculation of the time period. Once passed, this change expands the window in which the state can bring charges for this specific felony offense.
