that is an ipso facto change and wouldn’t affect the past.

Stogner v. California, 539 U.S. 607 (2003), is a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States, which held that California’s retroactive extension of the statute of limitations for sexual offenses committed against minors was an unconstitutional ex post facto law.

“that is an ipso facto change and wouldn’t affect the past.”

If you mean ex post facto, that is incorrect. A legislature cannot reinstate an already-expired statute of limitations for a criminal charge (though it can for civil lawsuits as we’ve seen in NY with things like child abuse lawsuits), but it can extend those that have not yet expired.
