SB 2886 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO TIME LIMITATIONS FOR CRIMES.

SB 2886 adds third- and fourth-degree sexual assault to the list of crimes with no statute of limitations for prosecution. This means prosecutors can file charges for these specific sexual assault offenses at any time, regardless of how much time has passed since the crime occurred. The bill directly affects victims of these crimes by removing time barriers for legal action and impacts prosecutors by expanding their ability to pursue cases. It does not change other crime categories or introduce new penalties, only extending the timeframe for prosecution of these particular offenses.
