Substitute House Bill No. 5466, Public Act No. 24-135, is an act concerning the timeframe within which crimes related to elections can be prosecuted. This bill establishes that no person can be prosecuted for any crime or offense that arises from a referral to the Chief State's Attorney by the State Elections Enforcement Commission, regarding any violation of election-related provisions, except within a specific period. This period is either the one prescribed by section 54-193 of the general statutes or a period that begins on the date of the referral and ends six months after the referral, whichever is later.

The bill is effective from October 1, 2024, and applies to offenses committed on or after this date. Additionally, it applies to offenses committed before October 1, 2024, if the statute of limitations for those offenses had not expired by that date, or to any offense for which a complaint, statement, or evidence is referred to the Chief State's Attorney on or after April 1, 2024. There are no insertions or deletions indicated in the provided text of the bill.
