Relating generally to forfeiture of contraband

Summary

The bill creates a criminal forfeiture system that lets West Virginia seize illegal drugs, related equipment, and other contraband after a conviction, and in some cases without a conviction. It includes safeguards for owners who did not know the property was used illegally and spells out how seized items and money are to be sold, returned, or sent to the federal government. It also repeals several older forfeiture statutes.
