Kamisha’s Law

HR 7364, "Kamisha's Law," removes time limits for prosecuting specific non-capital homicide offenses under federal law. It amends Title 18 to allow federal prosecutors to file charges for second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, or attempted manslaughter at any time - without a statute of limitations - for offenses listed under sections 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1116, 1118, 1119, 1120, and 1121. This change directly affects federal criminal cases involving these specific homicide charges, ensuring they can be prosecuted regardless of how much time has passed. The bill does not alter the legal definitions of these offenses but removes the usual deadline for bringing charges. It applies solely to federal prosecutions under the cited sections of the U.S. Code.
