Bill > HR1525

This bill, the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration Act of 2023 or the FAIR Act of 2023, aims to restore the integrity of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It proposes several key changes, including limiting the government's ability to conduct non-judicial forfeitures, shifting the burden of proof in civil forfeiture proceedings to the government, and directing forfeited funds to the General Fund of the Treasury rather than law enforcement agencies. The bill also requires a probable cause hearing within 14 days for property seized in connection with certain monetary transactions and enhances reporting requirements for the Department of Justice's Assets Forfeiture Fund. The amendments made by this bill would apply to civil forfeiture proceedings pending or filed on or after the date of enactment, as well as to any amounts received from forfeited property on or after that date.

Health and Social Services, Justice
