Bill would set a 10-year deadline for Congress-related false-statement charges

Federal prosecutors would have to bring covered charges within 10 years of the offense. Covered matters would include authorized congressional investigations or reviews and Congress's administrative or oversight matters. The deadline would cover offenses under the federal false-statements law, including concealment and fraudulent representations. It would not revive cases whose charging deadlines had expired before enactment. The rule would apply to offenses committed on or after enactment.
