Relating to certain statutes of limitations for criminal offenses, including the statutes of limitations for felony offenses relating to an election conducted in this state.
HB 2333 removes time limits for prosecuting felony offenses related to elections in Texas, meaning these crimes can be prosecuted without a deadline. The bill amends Article 12.01 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to include election-related felonies under the list of offenses with no statute of limitations. This directly affects individuals accused of election-related crimes, such as fraud or tampering, by ensuring they can be prosecuted regardless of when the offense occurred. The change applies to any felony offense connected to an election conducted in Texas, as specified in the bill's title.
