Summary

Existing law authorizes a city legislative body to impose fines, penalties, and forfeitures for violations of city ordinances. This bill would, until January 1, 2024, specifically authorize the City of Elk Grove to adopt an ordinance authorizing the city to confiscate and seek an order of civil forfeiture of real or personal property for violations of the city's ordinances. The bill would require the ordinance to provide the owner of the property adequate notice and opportunity to challenge the forfeiture and to ensure that the property seized is reasonable in relation to the ordinance violation. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Elk Grove.
