Bill overview
The Deterring Undue Enforcement by Protecting Rights Of Citizens from Excessive Searches and Seizures Act of 2022, also known as the DUE PROCESS Act, aims to reform federal civil forfeiture procedures. It raises the evidentiary standard required to initiate civil forfeiture cases, mandates the creation of a database to track forfeiture cases and conduct annual audits, and modifies rules regarding notice to claimants, hearing rights, and the burden of proof. The bill also addresses issues of representation for defendants and clarifies the definition of an ‘innocent owner’ in forfeiture proceedings, and updates procedures for seizing monetary instruments related to money laundering offenses.
