SB 3684 Illinois Senate · 104th Regular Session

CRIM CD-AGG KIDNAPING-DEATH

SB 3684 amends Illinois' Criminal Code to remove the statute of limitations for prosecuting aggravated kidnapping resulting in death. This means prosecutors can file charges for this specific offense at any time, regardless of how long ago the crime occurred. The bill directly affects cases where someone was kidnapped and died, allowing law enforcement to pursue justice without time constraints. It modifies Section 3-5 of the Criminal Code of 2012 to explicitly include this offense in the list of crimes with no time limit for prosecution. The change aligns this crime with other serious offenses like first-degree murder and certain sexual offenses that already have no statute of limitations.
