HB 1505 -- Statute of Limitation for Sexual Offenses

Sponsor:  Lembke (85)

This bill lengthens the statute of limitation for most sexual
offenses in which the victim is age 18 or younger.  Under current
law, the statute of limitation is 10 years after the victim
reaches age 18.  The bill lengthens the limitation to 20 years
after the victim reaches age 18.  The limitation applies to all
sexual offenses in which the victim is under the age of 18,
except for the crimes of rape and sodomy for which there is no
statute of limitation.
