S 4029 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A bill to reinforce the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 by establishing a limitations period of 10 years for antibribery offenses, and for other purposes.

This bill would extend the time limit for prosecuting foreign bribery offenses under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act from the current standard to 10 years. It directly affects individuals and companies accused of bribing foreign officials by giving prosecutors more time to build cases. The law would apply to all such offenses committed after the bill's enactment, except those occurring within five years before the law takes effect. The provision includes a sunset clause, meaning it would expire eight years after being enacted.
