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.

Libertas Institute supports this bill. Property rights and due process demand that a person's property not be taken, temporarily or permanently, without evidence that it was used for, or the result of, the commission of a crime. This bill takes us in the right direction.
