The Senate Judiciary Committee heard Sen. Hershman’s SB 388 on seizure and forfeiture of property. The bill was significantly amended from its original provisions and now focuses on collection of data. The bill requires that forfeiture and seizure data, including an itemized list of property seized, estimated value of seized property, and an itemized list of any previously seized property returned to the owner, must be compiled at least once a month. The amended bill passed 7-0.
