The purpose of this bill is to ensure that asset forfeiture funds are used for purposes as required by law, and to eliminate the possibility of misuse of funds.

Provides for greater accountability for seized assets by authorizing and directing the chief fiscal officer of a city, town, village or county to establish an asset forfeiture fund to be separately maintained; requires that proceeds from the sale of property and other moneys realized as a consequence of any forfeiture distributed to the district attorney, sheriff or other claiming agent of any county, town, city and village of which the claiming agent is a part, shall be deposited to such fund.
