A bill to reinforce the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 by establishing a limitations period of 10 years for antibribery offenses, and for other purposes.

This bill sets a 10-year time limit for bringing criminal charges for foreign bribery offenses under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the related section of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this bill, prosecutors would have 10 years after an offense is committed to file an indictment or information, instead of the general federal time limit. The 10-year limit would not apply to offenses committed more than 5 years before the bill becomes law. The bill would take effect when enacted and would end 8 years later.
