The bill authorizes the Sheriff of Clay County to sell certain abandoned, stolen, and unclaimed property at public auction, including firearms, and outlines the procedures for these sales. It mandates the sheriff to maintain a permanent record of all recovered property, detailing descriptions, recovery dates, and identifying numbers, which will be open for public inspection. The bill specifies that perishable items may be sold immediately without notice if the owner cannot be located, with proceeds held for six months for the owner. If unclaimed after this period, the funds will go to the Office of the Sheriff. Additionally, the sheriff is permitted to sell or destroy firearms that remain unclaimed for six months, with sales restricted to licensed gun dealers.

The bill also establishes a process for public auctions of unclaimed personal property, requiring notice to be published in a local newspaper or posted at the courthouse prior to the sale. Owners can reclaim their property before the auction by proving ownership and paying associated costs. Proceeds from the sales will be deposited into a designated Sheriff's Fund, which can only be used for law enforcement purposes. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
