Overview
This bill removes the time limit for prosecuting individuals accused of human trafficking crimes in New Jersey. Currently, there is a five-year statute of limitations for many crimes, but this legislation eliminates that restriction for offenses like human trafficking. This change aims to ensure that victims of human trafficking can seek justice regardless of how long ago the crime occurred. The bill also clarifies the timing of statute of limitations for other offenses.
