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 if the owner cannot be located, with proceeds held for six months for the owner before being allocated to the sheriff's office. Additionally, the sheriff is required to make reasonable efforts to notify potential owners of recovered firearms and may sell or destroy firearms that remain unclaimed after six months.

The bill also establishes a process for public auctions, requiring notice to be published in a local newspaper or posted at the courthouse prior to the sale. It allows the sheriff to reject unreasonably low bids and mandates that proceeds from the sales, after deducting expenses, be deposited into a designated Sheriff's Fund for law enforcement purposes. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
