Summary

As Passed House of Origin. Forfeiture of property used in connection with the commission of crimes; finding of guilt required.

Requires that any action for the forfeiture of property used in connection with the commission of a crime be stayed until the person whose property is the subject of the forfeiture action has been found guilty of the crime authorizing the forfeiture, regardless of whether he has been sentenced.
