Procedures Related to Civil Asset Forfeiture

Summary

The bill changes state law so a court may not order forfeiture of property unless the owner is convicted of a listed crime, with several narrow exceptions. It also sets how seized assets are sold and how the proceeds are distributed, including a capped amount for a local‑affairs grant program. The changes aim to protect owners’ rights while still allowing forfeiture in serious cases.
