AR SB630

Creates Chapter 127 of Arkansas Code Title 16 establishing civil liability for acts of terrorism defined in § 5-54-201 et seq.

Allows injured persons and governmental agencies to file claims against property used in terrorism offenses, with property subject to civil forfeiture to the state.

Establishes forfeiture proceeds allocation order: investigation costs to law enforcement, 25% of proceeds plus prosecution costs to prosecuting attorney, remaining costs to participating agencies, and final remainder to satisfy judgments for injured persons.

Permits injured persons to sue perpetrators for three times actual damages or $10,000 (whichever is greater) plus attorney fees if prevailing, with five-year limitation period from discovery of violation.

Protects factually innocent persons' property rights, mortgages, liens, and security interests from forfeiture and establishes court order requirement for property seizure except when incident to lawful arrest or based on prior forfeiture judgment.
