Good bill. The RICO Act is inherently flawed, and any step to prevent abuse is a good step.

What's the reasoning behind this. Why should statue of limitations be decreased?

The reason I support this is that often times whole organizations shouldn't be responsible too much for what a deranged individual does. Obviously if it can be proven it was connected it is fine but this limits that to a degree.

I still don't like it. I don't see a reason to decrease the statue of limitations.

This passed 5-2 with Razze being too late. Will certify/update sh**t soon, just with the election this weekend and me being unexpectedly busy on Thursday, I’ve gotten a little behind.
