2014 House Bill 5903

Condition revenue sharing on local civil forfeiture disclosure

Introduced in the House

Oct. 6, 2014

Introduced by Rep. Tom McMillin (R-45)

To repeal the best practices “incentives” grants by which a portion of the current year’s state revenue sharing to local governments is allocated, but only if House Bill 5250 becomes law, which would require law enforcement agencies to file monthly reports disclosing details of criminal asset forfeiture proceedings. Presumably the intention is to add compliance with the proposed disclosure requirements to the conditions on locals getting this state “incentive” money.

Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
