Bill overview
This bill amends California law to clarify the circumstances under which a search warrant can be issued for stolen or embezzled currency. Specifically, it allows warrants to include an order for the return of such currency to a lawful owner, subject to a hearing where the seizing agency must prove the currency was indeed stolen or embezzled. The bill also requires notifying the prosecuting authority before returning the currency and establishes procedures for handling attorney-client privilege and documentary evidence.
