Bill overview
This bill, H.1774, aimed to improve the process of civil asset forfeiture in Massachusetts, specifically focusing on reforms within the controlled substances law. It sought to limit the government’s ability to seize property suspected of being connected to criminal activity without a criminal conviction, and increase transparency in forfeiture proceedings. The bill was ultimately unsuccessful and failed to pass the legislature.
