Relates to the statute of limitations for certain assault offenses committed against a member of the same family or household

This bill extends the time limit for prosecuting first-degree assault against family or household members from the standard period to ten years. It directly affects victims of such assaults and prosecutors who must file charges within this new timeframe. The key provision adds a specific ten-year window for cases involving assault in the first degree (as defined in Penal Law §120.10) committed against someone in the same household or family, as defined in Penal Law §530.11. This change applies immediately upon enactment and modifies the criminal procedure law to prioritize these cases.
