HB 167 (Asset Forfeiture Revisions) Libertas Institute supports this bill. Under civil asset forfeiture, the government claims (and exercises) the authority to forcibly take a person's property who has not been charged with—let alone convicted of—a crime. This bill would restrict the state's ability to forfeit property, requiring a criminal conviction before the government can proceed with forfeiture.
