TIME for Overdose Justice Act

This bill changes federal drug law so that there is no time limit for bringing charges in certain drug distribution cases when someone dies or is seriously injured from using the drug. It applies to violations of the main federal drug distribution and manufacturing law covered by its penalty rules, and to conspiracies to commit those violations. Normally, federal law sets a general time limit for filing such charges. Under this bill, prosecutors could file an indictment or information at any time in these cases.
