Bill > S02192

This bill enacts the "criminal forfeiture process act" to replace the process for the criminal forfeiture of certain property, including personal and real property, related to specific felony offenses such as controlled substance offenses, prostitution, and driving under the influence. The key provisions include details on seizure procedures, notice requirements, prompt post-seizure hearings, standards of proof, exemptions, secured interest holders, innocent owners, disposal of forfeited property, and limitations on federal and joint task force involvement. The bill aims to deter criminal activity, confiscate property used in crimes, and protect due process rights of property owners.
