HJR 026 | Use of forfeiture proceeds for schools and law |
HJR 26 - This joint resolution would submit a constitutional
amendment which, if approved by Missouri voters, divides the
proceeds from forfeitures for any breach of penal law as follows:
50% to the State School Moneys Fund; and 50% to the Department of
Public Safety Forfeiture Fund. The Forfeiture Fund will be
divided, with 90% of the fund to be distributed to local law
enforcement agencies and the remaining 10% to be retained by the
Department of Public Safety for use as provided by law. Proceeds
of penalties and fines shall continue to be distributed to school
districts in the county such penalties and fines are collected.
