Forfeiture Reform Act

The Forfeiture Reform Act aims to limit the government's ability to seize property without a criminal conviction. It reforms civil asset forfeiture laws, which allow law enforcement to confiscate assets suspected of being connected to crime, even if the owner hasn’t been charged. The Act seeks to provide greater protection for individuals by requiring a higher standard of proof before property can be taken and ensuring that victims of wrongful seizures have better avenues for reclaiming their property. Overall, it promotes justice and due process in property rights.
