SB1235

Oklahoma SB1235 prohibits municipalities, counties, and the state from seizing personal property on public property without specific conditions.

Oklahoma SB1235 establishes conditions under which municipalities, counties, and the state can seize personal property on public property. It prohibits seizing personal property unless there is an objectively reasonable belief that the property is abandoned, presents an immediate threat to public health or safety, is evidence of a crime, or is contraband. The bill mandates that before seizing abandoned property, municipalities and counties must post written notice advising the owner where the property will be kept and how it may be claimed.
