Bill > H0575

This bill amends existing Idaho law to increase transparency and accountability regarding asset forfeitures, which are seizures of property by law enforcement believed to be connected to criminal activity. Specifically, it requires the State Controller to maintain and publish a current list of all asset forfeitures, and mandates that state, county, and local law enforcement agencies report detailed information about these forfeitures to the State Controller annually. This information will include details about the seized property, the associated criminal charges, and the outcome of the forfeiture process, ensuring that the public has access to this data. The bill also declares an emergency and sets an effective date of July 1, 2026.
