DPI Praises FAIR Act Introduction by Senators Paul, King, Crapo, and Lee

July 17, 2020–Due Process Institute has been working for years to advance reforms of civil asset forfeiture at the federal level. We are encouraged that leaders in the United States Senate are reiterating the need for important reforms by reintroducing the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration (FAIR) Act. This legislation complements these other efforts by adding key provisions that will end administrative forfeiture, which allows federal agencies to take property from innocent property owners without the due process protections available in our federal court system.
