Sec. 762.18  Time limitations.

    (a) A prosecution for any petty offense under this part must be 
commenced within two years after it is committed.
    (b) An offense is committed either when every element occurs, or, if 
a legislative purpose to prohibit a continuing course of conduct plainly 
appears, at the time when the course of conduct or the defendant's 
complicity therein is terminated. Time starts to run on the day after 
the offense is committed.
    (c) A prosecution is commenced either when an information is filed, 
or when an arrest warrant or other process is issued, provided that such 
warrant or process is executed without unreasonable delay.
    (d) The period of limitation does not run:
    (1) During any time when the accused is absent from the Midway 
Islands or has no reasonably ascertainable place of abode or work within 
the Midway Islands, but in no case shall this provision extend the 
period of limitation otherwise applicable by more than three years; or
    (2) During any time when a prosecution against the accused for the 
same conduct is pending in the Midway Islands Court.
    (e) Except those offenses which are subject, under title 37 of the 
``Hawaii Revised Statutes,'' as they now appear or as they may be 
amended or recodified, to a penalty of imprisonment for six months or 
less or a fine of not more than $500, or both, offenses charged and 
treated under Sec. 762.16 (a) and (b), shall be subject to the 
appropriate time-limitation rules set forth in section 108, title 37, 
``Hawaii Revised Statutes,'' as it now appears or as it may be amended 
or recodified.
