SB 5260: Civil forfeitures

Modifying civil forfeiture provisions.

Summary

  • When property is forfeited in drug cases, the property must be sold or destroyed. Forfeited property may no longer be retained or forwarded to the federal Drug Enforcement Administration for disposition, unless the activity giving rise to the forfeiture was interstate in nature or the property was only subject to forfeiture under federal law.
