H.R. 7364 eliminates the statute of limitations for prosecuting certain non-capital homicide offenses in federal cases, meaning prosecutors can bring charges for these crimes at any point in the future without time restrictions. The bill specifically applies to second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, and attempted manslaughter charges under various federal statutes. This legislation affects federal prosecutors and anyone who commits these homicide offenses, potentially allowing cases to be prosecuted decades after they occur. The bill contains no specific funding requirements or implementation timelines, as it primarily changes legal procedures for federal criminal prosecutions. The bill was introduced in February 2026 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
