Limits forfeiture so it can occur only when a defendant is convicted of a crime of unlawful distribution, manufacturing, dispensing, or selling a controlled substance;
•
Specifies that a forfeiture proceeding is not a separate civil proceeding but part of a defendant's criminal proceeding; •
Specifies when personal property may be seized with or without process;
•
Establishes duties and procedures when property is seized;
•
Establishes court procedures for various parties;
•
Allows for the disposition of seized assets and proceeds consistent with prior law; and
•
Establishes limitations on seizures involving the federal government.
