Justice for Murder Victims: No Time Limit on Prosecution.

This bill removes the time limit between the act causing death and the victim's actual death, allowing federal prosecutors to pursue homicide cases regardless of how much time has passed. This aims to ensure that perpetrators of serious crimes cannot escape accountability due to elapsed time, potentially bringing a sense of justice to victims' families.
Key points
Eliminates the time limit for prosecuting homicide offenses under federal law, meaning perpetrators can be held accountable even after many years.
Increases the likelihood of justice for victims' families who might otherwise lose the opportunity to prosecute due to the passage of time.
