Bill overview
The SPIES Act aims to remove time limits on prosecutions for serious federal crimes related to espionage and national security. Specifically, it allows prosecutors to bring charges for violations of laws concerning espionage, obtaining citizenship unlawfully, or concealing individuals involved in these activities, regardless of how long ago the offenses occurred. The bill modifies existing statutes to ensure that these cases can be pursued without the usual limitations on bringing charges after a certain period.
