Clarifies that statute of limitation is tolled in certain cases until State possesses match of crime scene evidence and suspect's DNA.

This bill clarifies that the statute of limitations for prosecuting certain crimes pauses until a confirmed match is made between crime scene DNA/fingerprint evidence and a suspect's sample. It specifically affects cases involving physical evidence where DNA or fingerprint identification is used, such as violent crimes or sexual assaults. The key change modifies New Jersey law to require that time stops running only after the State confirms a match between the evidence, not merely when the evidence is in possession. This aligns with legislative intent and corrects a prior court interpretation that allowed time to start earlier. The amendment applies to all relevant criminal prosecutions under N.J.S.2C:1-6.
