West Virginia Bill Reform State Asset Forfeiture Process, Take Step to Opt State Out of Federal Program

A bill introduced in the West Virginia House would reform the state’s asset forfeiture process to require a conviction in most cases. The enactment of this bill would also take a step to opt the state out of a program that allows police to circumvent more strict state forfeiture laws by passing cases off to the feds.
