Kamisha’s Law
To eliminate the period of limitations for certain non-capital homicide offenses.
HB7364, known as Kamisha’s Law, seeks to remove the time limit for prosecuting certain non-capital homicide offenses. Currently, there is a deadline, called a statute of limitations, for when such crimes can be legally pursued. This bill would eliminate that time limit, allowing authorities to pursue charges at any time, regardless of how long ago the crime occurred. This change would mainly impact law enforcement agencies and victims' families by potentially allowing more justice to be served in these cases.
The bill was introduced on February 4, 2026, and is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on the Judiciary. It was sponsored by Dusty Johnson, a Republican. This is the first step in the legislative process, and the bill is now being evaluated for its potential impact and feasibility.
Key actions so far include the bill being introduced and referred to the appropriate committee for further examination. As of now, no further actions have been taken, and the bill is in its early stages.
