Administrative forfeiture for seized property; bring forward section related to unlawful controlled substances.

Summary

The bill restores and updates Mississippi’s forfeiture law so that property seized in drug cases—except the drugs themselves—can be forfeited without a court trial if its value is under $20,000. Owners would receive notice and could contest the forfeiture within 30 days, after which the property would be transferred to the agency. It aims to streamline the handling of low‑value drug‑related assets.
