Under the legislation, the time taken to enter an evidence kit into a state database wouldn't count against the timeframe for when sexual assaults must be prosecuted. Currently a sexual assault must be prosecuted within 10 years after it has been reported. Under proposed legislation, there's no time limit to prosecute if an evidence testing kit is in the state police database.
