CRIM CD-SEX OFFENSES                                                       

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Eliminates the statute of            
   limitation  for  any  offense involving sexual conduct or sexual            
   penetration in which the DNA profile of the offender is obtained            
   whether or not that DNA profile identifies a named individual.              
   Effective immediately.                                                      
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
        Provides that the extended period for the prosecution of offenses      
   involving sexual conduct  or  sexual  penetration  in  which  the  DNA      
   profile  of  the  offender  is  obtained  applies  only  if the victim      
   reported the offense to law enforcement  authorities  within  2  years      
   after  the  commission  of  the  offense  unless  a  longer period for      
   reporting the offense to law enforcement authorities  is  provided  by      
   law.                                                                        
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Provides that prosecution of an offense involving sexual conduct       
   or sexual penetration may be commenced at any time if the DNA profile       
   of the offender is obtained and entered into a DNA database within 10       
   years after the commission of the offense and the identity of the           
   offender is unknown after a diligent investigation by law enforcement       
   authorities  (rather  than whether or not the DNA profile identifies a      
   named individual).
