Utah Drug Enforcement Provisions, Initiative B (2000)
From Ballotpedia
The measure was largely funded by out-of-state donors, including the liberal billionaires George Soros (New York), Peter Lewis (Indiana), and John Sperling (Arizona). Together, they out-spent opponents of the measure by $560,000.00 to $15,000.
Initiative B:
- Restricts government's ability to confiscate property taken from ‘innocent owners' in drug arrests and other crimes.
- Establishes uniform procedures for the forfeiture of property.
- Prohibits use of any asset forfeitures by law enforcement.
- Mandates all asset forfeitures be given to the Utah Uniform School Fund.
