On Tuesday Feb 19th, a House Subcommittee is expected to hold a do-or-die vote on an important bill to help stop asset forfeiture in Tennessee. Following the steps below, 10-15 minutes of your time can do a great deal to help this bill pass!
Background: Last year, the Gov signed into law a very modest reform of asset forfeiture in the state, but it’s definitely not enough. So this year, Rep Daniel and Sen. Niceley have introduced legislation to take the next step, primarily addressing a dangerous federal asset forfeiture loophole called “equitable sharing.” If you’d like to get all the details, you can read our report at this link
