These additional purposes are not specified in the bill, but could potentially include measures to support victims of these crimes, improve the criminal justice system, or enhance public safety. Overall, Bill 118 s 4857 is a significant piece of legislation that seeks to address the issue of time limitations for prosecuting serious offenses.
