ASSET FORFEITURE: ALABAMA

Hi, Alan. Nice forfeiture.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
Current Law
Alabama Requires Asset Forfeiture Reporting; Federal Equitable Sharing Included
Bill Link: SB191
Effective Date: 6/24/2019
Overview: Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a bill into law imposing strict reporting requirements for all asset forfeitures in the state. This legislation takes the first step that could lead to substantive reforms, including closing a federal loophole that allows police to bypass more strict state asset forfeiture laws.
The new law requires Alabama law enforcement agencies to submit detailed reports on every forfeiture in the state, including information on whether there were any arrests in connection with the seizure, the disposition of cases, and how asset forfeiture proceeds were disbursed. The legislation specifically directs the Criminal Justice Information Center Commission to establish rules for reporting asset forfeiture cases in cooperation with the federal government and when an Alabama law enforcement agency receives equitable sharing proceeds from a federal forfeiture case.
While passage of SB191 doesn’t reform Alabama asset forfeiture laws, it sets a foundation to do so in the future.
