An Act relative to civil asset forfeiture data reporting
This bill requires Massachusetts law enforcement agencies to publicly report detailed data on civil asset seizures and forfeitures. It mandates annual itemized reports from police departments, district attorneys, and the attorney general on seized assets, their value, and how funds were spent (including community grants), with reports due January 31 each year. The bill also creates a public website tracking system showing specific details for each seizure, including property type, seizure date, crime involved, case outcome, and property disposition. These reports become public records, increasing transparency around how law enforcement uses forfeiture proceeds.
