| This legislation relocates and rewrites the civil procedure by which law enforcement seize and dispose of property or assets involved with illegal activity by state and local law enforcement. For a general summary click here. This legislation was amended to include the language from H.B. 418 which changes the qualifications for persons serving on the grand jury. This legislation will require the sheriff to report on a standardized form, the assets and cash seized and forfeited, and submit to the county commission, as well as the Carl Vinson Institute. Counties should continue to include this form with the budget submission to the Carl Vinson Institute. If the Sheriff fails to comply with reporting requirements their ability to seize assets and forfeitures will be suspended. |

| This legislation requires the county law library board of trustees to have an annual audit; include the District Attorney on the Board; and allows for equipment purchases from the fund for the courthouse. The bill also clarifies that the law library fee charged on all civil filings is an add-on to filing fee, not a deduction from the county portion of the filing fee. |
