The New York State Assembly and Senate recently passed legislation proposed by the New York Attorney General (“NYAG”) establishing a six-year statute of limitations for claims brought under the Martin Act and New York Executive Law § 63(12). This legislation comes almost exactly one year after a landmark decision by the New York Court of Appeals holding that Martin Act and Executive Law § 63(12) actions were subject to a three-year statute of limitations
You think holding someone liable for something that happened in 2017 & 2018, when the statute of limitations was 3 years, then changing the statute of limitations to 6 years so you can sue him in 2023 for it is kosher?

States are absolutely allowed to change statutes of limitations. By your own point the original statute of limitations hadn’t even expired against Trump by 2019 when they changed it to six years.
