2001 Senate Bill 1 ↩

House Roll Call 83: Passed

To eliminate the statute of limitations on all first degree criminal sexual conduct (CSC) cases, and on explosives offenses punishable by imprisonment for life. For other degrees of CSC, in or cases of possession of child pornography or child sex abuse, where DNA evidence is present the statute of limitations would not begin counting down until a match with the DNA has been made. Finally, the bill would add attempted murder, manslaughter, and first-degree home invasion to the crimes for which the limitations period is 10 years, instead of six years. This would not include cases where the statute of limitations has already expired.
