Rhode Island Committee Holds Hearing on Bill to Require Conviction for Asset Forfeiture, Opt State Out of Federal Program
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (May 25, 2021) – Yesterday, a Rhode Island Senate committee held a hearing on a bill that would reform the state’s asset forfeiture laws to require a criminal conviction in most cases, and also opt the state out of a federal asset forfeiture program known as “equitable sharing.”
A coalition of five Democrats introduced Senate Bill 732 (S732) on March 26. Under the proposed law, prosecutors would not be able to move forward with asset forfeiture proceedings without first obtaining a criminal conviction in most cases. The legislation would also raise the standard of proof necessary to complete forfeiture from a preponderance of evidence to clear and convincing evidence. ....

Maine Bill Would Require a Conviction Before Asset Forfeiture, Opt State Out of Federal Program


AUGUSTA, Maine (May 17, 2021) – A bill introduced in the Maine House would reform the state’s asset forfeiture laws to require a criminal conviction in most cases, and also opt the state out of a federal asset forfeiture program known as “equitable sharing.”
Rep. William Faulkingham (R-Winter Harbor) along with two fellow Republicans, four Democrats and a Libertarian, introduced House Bill 1521 (LD1521) on April 15. The legislation would require a criminal conviction before prosecutors could proceed with asset forfeiture.
Passage of the bill would also effectively opt Maine out of a federal program that allows state and local police to get around more strict state asset forfeiture laws. This is particularly important in light of a policy directive issued in July 2017 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions for the Department of Justice (DOJ) that remains in effect today. ....

Signed by the Governor: Arizona Law to Require a Criminal Conviction for Asset Forfeiture


PHOENIX, Ariz. (May 6, 2021) – Yesterday, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed a bill into law reforming the state’s asset forfeiture laws and prohibiting the state from taking a person’s property without a criminal conviction in most cases. The proposed legislation builds on important reforms signed into law in 2017 that opted Arizona out of a federal forfeiture program.
A coalition of 12 Republicans introduced House Bill 2810 (HB2810) on Feb. 8. Arizona law now requires a criminal conviction before the prosecutors can begin forfeiture proceedings in most cases. The bill also includes provisions that increase protections for property owners involved in the forfeiture process, including requiring an arrest before property can be seized and the prompt return of property if no criminal case exists. ....

To the Governor: Arizona Passes Bill to Require a Criminal Conviction for Asset Forfeiture


Arizona currently has some of the most onerous civil asset forfeiture laws in the country. Although prosecutors claim that drug kingpins and white-collar criminals are their primary targets, three-quarters of forfeiture cases involve property valued at less than $10,000.
“The median cash forfeiture in Arizona was $1,000,” said Paul Avelar, managing attorney for the Institute for Justice’s Arizona office. “When half of your cash forfeitures are less than $1,000, it is not a tool that is ‘targeting’ cartels. And this is such a low figure that most people will, rightly, realize the costs of fighting back are prohibitive. But lots of small forfeitures can mean big money: Agencies took in $24 million in fiscal year 2019 alone.” ....
