State No Longer Has To Pay Itself

Rep. David Derby's legislation eliminating a technical glitch where the state is paying itself a fee for asset forfeiture and saving tax payers money was signed into law by Governor Brad Henry. House Bill 1297, by Derby, updates statutes to eliminate the filing fee when the state files asset forfeiture. Currently, the state has to pay a filing fee for taking civil action against an individual who already faces criminal charges.
