Provides that prosecutions for offenses under chapter 566 may be commenced at any time
HB 1033 removes time limits for prosecuting certain sexual offenses involving minors. Specifically, it allows prosecutions for unlawful sexual offenses against victims under 18 years old to be filed at any time, regardless of when the offense occurred. This change directly affects victims of these crimes, prosecutors, and the justice system by eliminating statutes of limitations for these cases. The bill amends Chapter 566 to clarify that such offenses - defined as those requiring registration under sections 589.400-589.425 - may be prosecuted without time restrictions. This is a concrete policy change focused on enabling accountability for crimes against minors.
