Bill overview
The FAIR Act of 2026 aims to restore the integrity of the Fifth Amendment by significantly changing rules surrounding civil and nonjudicial forfeiture. It mandates clearer evidence standards for government claims in forfeiture cases, requires prompt notification to interested parties, and limits the ability of federal agencies to conduct nonjudicial forfeitures. The bill also modifies procedures related to asset forfeiture funds and introduces requirements for probable cause hearings in certain property seizure cases.
