Dear PGNH member:
HB225 has been scheduled for a public hearing on THURSDAY FEBRUARY 17, at 10:00 a.m., in the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee (room 204, Legislative Office Building -- behind the State House). This bill calls for the timely return of personal property, "including weapons," confiscated by law enforcement, upon the acquittal of or dismissal of criminal proceedings against a person charged with a crime. The property owner would be paid $100 for each day after the fifth day that property is not returned. Bill text:
