Massachusetts H3297 mandates annual civil asset forfeiture data reporting by law enforcement agencies.

Massachusetts H3297 amends existing laws to require the attorney general, district attorneys, and police departments to submit annual reports to the state treasurer detailing assets, monies, and proceeds from seized properties. These reports must include an itemized accounting of each seizure and forfeiture, including the type of property, estimated value, and the outcome of any related criminal cases. The state treasurer is tasked with establishing a case tracking system and a searchable public website to make this information accessible.
