Justice for Murder Victims Act

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill removes time limits for prosecuting federal murder cases. Currently, there may be restrictions on how much time can pass between when someone commits an act that causes death and when the victim actually dies. This bill would eliminate those time restrictions, allowing prosecutors to bring murder charges regardless of how long passed between the harmful act and the victim's death.
