Relating to the statute of limitations for sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault.

SB 615 removes the statute of limitations for prosecuting sexual assault (under Texas Penal Code §22.011) and aggravated sexual assault (§22.021). This means prosecutors can file charges for these crimes at any time, regardless of when the offense occurred. The bill directly affects victims of sexual assault by allowing them to pursue legal action years or decades after the crime. It amends Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 12.01 to explicitly state there is "no limitation" for these specific offenses, aligning with recent changes to other serious crimes. The bill is currently in committee referral after being filed in December 2024.
