SB 655 - Under current law, certain acts of child abuse may not be prosecuted after three years have elapsed. This act provides that there is no statute of limitations for child abuse prosecutions. In addition, current law provides that prosecutions for certain unlawful sexual offenses involving a person 18 years of age or younger must be commenced within 30 years of the victim turning 18. This act provides that such prosecutions may be commenced at any time for offenses committed after August 28, 2018. This act is substantially similar to SCS/SB 352 (2017) and is similar to SB 696 (2016), SB 467 (2015), and HB 167 (2015). MIKE WEAVER
