Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Criminal Code of 1961 relating to the unlimited statute of limitations for an offense involving sexual conduct or sexual penetration in which the DNA profile of the offender is obtained and entered into a DNA database within 10 years after the commission of the offense and the identity of the offender is unknown after a diligent investigation by law enforcement authorities. Eliminates the requirement that the victim must report the offense to law enforcement authorities within 2 years after the commission of the offense if the victim is murdered by the offender during the course of the offense. Effective immediately.
House Committee Amendment No. 1 Provides that the unlimited statute of limitations for the described offense applies when the victim is murdered during the course of the offense or within 2 years after the commission of the offense (rather than when the victim is murdered by the offender during the course of the offense).
