HB 1364: Gambling property seizure

Updating provisions about the seizure and forfeiture of gambling-related property.

Summary

  • Any property subject to seizure in connection with a violation of gambling laws may be forfeited without further hearing if, after notice is given to the owner, the owner fails to claim the property in the time required. If the owner of a gambling device claims ownership of the machine that has been seized, he or she must be afforded a hearing on the claim of ownership.
