The bill establishes new regulations for the sale, use, and destruction of abandoned, stolen, and unclaimed property by the Henry County Sheriff's Office and its task forces. It mandates that the Sheriff's Office maintain detailed records of all recovered property, including descriptions and identifying numbers, and ensures that these records are open to public inspection. The bill allows the Sheriff to sell unclaimed property at public auctions after a minimum holding period of six months, with specific provisions for firearms sales requiring a federal firearm license. Additionally, it outlines the process for notifying the public about upcoming auctions and allows for immediate sale of perishable items without notice.

Proceeds from the sale of abandoned or stolen property must be held in a separate account for six months, during which the rightful owner can claim the funds after proving ownership. If unclaimed after this period, the net proceeds will be deposited into the Sheriff's Fund for law enforcement purposes. The bill also grants the Sheriff discretion to use or destroy unclaimed firearms that are deemed unlawful or unsafe. The act is set to take effect on May 1, 2026, and applies to any abandoned or stolen property held on or after that date.
