Title
Asset Forfeiture Fund (Federal) 18024-259.
Body
Recommended Action: Establish 2016 Budget Authority in the Asset Forfeiture Fund (Federal), 18024-259.
The Asset Forfeiture Fund (Federal) is established by law under an equitable sharing agreement with federal law enforcement agencies such as FBI, DEA and ATF. A portion of the proceeds derived as a result of property seized and forfeited via this agreement is allocated to the prosecutor's office and may be used for legitimate law enforcement and prosecutorial purposes, including training, equipment and educational purposes.
Statutorily it is not allowable to anticipate future revenue and therefore budget authority was not established for this fund (18024-259) during the normal 2016 budget processes. The District Attorney's Office is requesting budget authority to meet current and pending expenditure needs anticipated throughout the remainder of the year.
