This bill seeks to eliminate the statute of limitations for specific non-capital homicide offenses under federal law. It achieves this by amending Chapter 213 of title 18, United States Code, to allow for an indictment or information to be found or instituted at any time without limitation for these crimes. The offenses covered include various forms of second-degree murder , voluntary manslaughter , and attempted manslaughter as defined across multiple sections of title 18. This legislative change ensures that perpetrators of these serious crimes can be prosecuted regardless of how much time has passed since the offense occurred.
