OK HB3836

Eliminates civil asset forfeiture in Oklahoma, requiring a criminal conviction before property can be forfeited and requiring the state to prove by clear and convincing evidence that property was an instrumentality or proceeds of the offense

Mandates return of seized property within 15 days if no charges are filed within 60 days, or if charges result in dismissal, acquittal, or deferred prosecution

Imposes civil penalties of at least $250 per day for agencies wrongfully retaining property, plus attorney fees, and treble damages for intentional misconduct; criminal penalties include fines of $1,000-$5,000 and up to one year in jail for first offense

Directs all forfeiture proceeds to the General Revenue Fund rather than to seizing agencies, and prohibits transfers to federal agencies unless property exceeds $50,000 and involves a certified interstate criminal enterprise

Requires the Office of Management and Enterprise Services to maintain a public online dashboard tracking all seizures, forfeiture actions, and penalties assessed against agencies
