SB320 amends Hawaii's civil asset forfeiture laws to restrict forfeitures to felony offenses, require convictions, and direct proceeds to the general.

SB320 seeks to reform Hawaii's civil asset forfeiture laws by limiting the transfer of forfeited property to federal agencies, establishing records requirements, and restricting civil asset forfeiture to cases involving felony offenses where the property owner has been convicted. The bill also directs any forfeiture proceeds to the general fund and mandates that the attorney general report to the legislature on the use of the Hawaii omnibus criminal forfeiture act.
