HB 1266 Indiana House · 2025 Regular Session

Statute of limitations for certain sex crimes.

HB 1266 removes the time limit for prosecuting Level 1 and Level 2 felony sex crimes, allowing prosecutors to file charges at any time. This directly affects victims of these specific crimes by ensuring they can seek justice regardless of how much time has passed since the offense. The bill also makes minor legal adjustments ("conforming changes") to align related statutes with this new rule. The change means prosecutors can pursue these cases without being restricted by previous deadlines.
