AB 2758

Existing law requires, except in specified cases, that prosecution for an offense punishable by imprisonment in the state prison or pursuant to a specified statute be commenced within 3 years after the commission of the offense. Existing law requires specified sex offenses that are committed when the victim is under 18 years of age to be punished by imprisonment in the state prison or in a county jail for not more than one year. Existing law requires specified felony sex offenses that are committed when the victim is under 18 years of age and under certain circumstances, such as rape of a person with a mental disorder or disability or sodomy with force or fear, to be commenced by the victim’s 40th birthday when the crime was committed on or after January 1, 2015, or for which the previous statute of limitations has not run as of January 1, 2015. This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to those provisions.
