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.

Colorado Law Expands Asset Forfeiture Reforms
Bill Link: HB1020
Effective Date: 9/1/2018
Overview: A new Colorado law went into effect expanding asset forfeiture reporting requirements instituted in 2017. The legislation expands asset forfeiture reporting requirements by redefining the agencies required to submit reports.
The previous law required “seizing agencies” to submit extensive forfeiture reports. Under HB1020, any “reporting agency” defined as “any state or local entity that employs a person, other than a judge or magistrate, who is authorized to effectuate a forfeiture of real or personal property” will now have to submit reports. The new law also specifically includes the office of a district attorney and local law enforcement agencies. This broader definition will ensure all agencies involved in the forfeiture process are included in the reporting requirements.

But important provisions in the new law required the state to stop participating in a lucrative federal asset forfeiture program in a vast majority of situations.
