STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS30744 / H0373
This bill mandates the State Controller to create a website containing details of property seized and forfeited
under Idaho state law. The website must include information like the name of the seizing law enforcement
agency, date, and place of seizure, alleged criminal offense, and the suspect's criminal case outcome.
Additionally, the website must include information on costs related to forfeiture cases and the total funds
expended from such seizures. The aim of the bill is to provide legislators with necessary information for
oversight of state law seizures and forfeitures.
FISCAL NOTE
This legislation will not affect the General Fund because these tasks are accomplished with existing resources.
The State Controller may re-evaluate the costs if additional manipulation of the data is required in the future.
