This legislative proposal, titled "Kamisha's Law," seeks to remove the statute of limitations for specific non-capital homicide offenses, allowing for their prosecution at any time without restriction. The bill amends Chapter 213 of Title 18, United States Code, by adding a new section, 3302, which explicitly states that an indictment or information may be found or instituted indefinitely for these crimes. The offenses covered include murder in the second degree and voluntary manslaughter , as well as attempted manslaughter , under various sections of Title 18. Specifically, it applies to offenses defined in sections 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1116, 1118, 1119, 1120, and 1121, ensuring that justice can be pursued regardless of how much time has passed since the crime occurred.
