162 weeks, of the forfeiture proceeding:
163 (i) in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the seizure occurred;

180 (6) In all suits or actions brought under this section for the civil forfeiture of any

184 bond with respect to the property subject to forfeiture.

194 through the criminal case.

196 property through the criminal case, the information or indictment shall state that the claimant's
197 interest in the property is subject to forfeiture and the basis for the forfeiture.
198 (3) (a) Upon application of the prosecuting attorney, the court may enter restraining
199 orders or injunctions, or take other reasonable actions to preserve for forfeiture under this
200 section, any property subject to forfeiture if, after notice to known claimants and claimants who
201 can be identified after due diligence and who are known to have an interest in the property, and
202 after affording those persons an opportunity for a hearing, the court determines that:
203 (i) there is a substantial probability that the state will prevail on the issue of forfeiture
204 and that failure to enter the order will result in the property being sold, transferred, destroyed,
205 or removed from the jurisdiction of the court or otherwise made unavailable for forfeiture; and
206 (ii) the need to preserve the availability of the property or prevent its sale, transfer,
207 destruction, or removal through the entry of the requested order outweighs the hardship against
208 any party against whom the order is to be entered.
209 (b) A temporary restraining order may be entered ex parte upon application of the
210 prosecuting attorney before or after an information or indictment has been filed with respect to
211 the property, if the prosecuting attorney demonstrates that:
212 (i) there is probable cause to believe that the property with respect to which the order is
213 sought would, in the event of a conviction, be subject to forfeiture under this section; and

214 (ii) provision of notice would jeopardize the availability of the property for forfeiture
215 or would jeopardize an ongoing criminal investigation.
216 (c) The temporary order expires not more than 10 days after entry unless extended for
217 good cause shown or unless the party against whom it is entered consents to an extension.
218 (d) After service of the temporary order upon any claimants known to the prosecuting

220 practicable and prior to the expiration of the temporary order.

222 receive and consider at any hearing under this section.

225 any part of it is subject to forfeiture.
226 (b) A determination of whether property is subject to forfeiture under this section shall
227 be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
228 (5) (a) Upon conviction of a claimant for violating any provision of state law
229 subjecting a claimant's property to forfeiture and a finding by the trier of fact that the property
230 is subject to forfeiture, the court shall enter a judgment and order the property forfeited to the
231 state upon the terms stated by the court in its order.
232 (b) Following the entry of an order declaring property forfeited, the court may, upon
233 application of the prosecuting attorney, enter appropriate restraining orders or injunctions,
234 require the execution of satisfactory performance bonds, appoint receivers, conservators,
235 appraisers, accountants, or trustees, or take any other action to protect the interest of the state in
236 property ordered forfeited.
237 (6) (a) (i) After property is ordered forfeited under this section, the seizing agency shall
238 direct the disposition of the property under Section 24-4-115 .

240 transferable for value to the state expires and does not revert to the defendant.

242 not eligible to purchase forfeited property at any sale held by the seizing agency unless
243 approved by the judge.
244 (b) The court may stay the sale or disposition of the property pending the conclusion of

245 any appeal of the criminal case giving rise to the forfeiture if the defendant demonstrates that
246 proceeding with the sale or disposition of the property may result in irreparable injury, harm, or
247 loss.
248 (7) Except as provided under Subsection (3) or (10), a party claiming an interest in
249 property subject to forfeiture under this section:

251 property under this section; and
252 (b) may not commence an action at law or equity concerning the validity of the party's
253 alleged interests in the property subsequent to the filing of an indictment or an information
254 alleging that the property is subject to forfeiture under this section.
255 (8) The district court that has jurisdiction of a case under this part may enter orders
256 under this section without regard to the location of any property that may be subject to
257 forfeiture under this section or that has been ordered forfeited under this section.
258 (9) To facilitate the identification or location of property declared forfeited and to
259 facilitate the disposition of petitions for remission or mitigation of forfeiture after the entry of
260 an order declaring property forfeited to the state, the court may, upon application of the
261 prosecuting attorney, order that the testimony of any witness relating to the forfeited property

264 Civil Procedure.

272 (ii) The prosecuting attorney shall also send written notice to any claimants, other than
273 the defendant, known to the prosecuting attorney to have an interest in the property, at the
274 claimant's known address.
275 (b) (i) Any claimant, other than the defendant, asserting a legal interest in property that

276 has been ordered forfeited to the state under this section may, within 30 days after the notice
277 has been published or the claimant receives the written notice under Subsection (10)(a),
278 whichever is earlier, petition the court for a hearing to adjudicate the validity of the claimant's

295 claim to the property and cross-examine witnesses who appear.
296 (ii) In addition to testimony and evidence presented at the trial or hearing, the court
297 may consider the relevant portion of the record of the criminal case that resulted in the order of
298 forfeiture.
299 (iii) Any trial or hearing shall be conducted pursuant to the Utah Rules of Evidence.
300 (f) The court shall amend the order of forfeiture in accordance with its determination, if
301 after the trial or hearing, the court or jury determines that the petitioner has established by a
302 preponderance of the evidence that:
303 (i) the claimant has a legal right, title, or interest in the property, and the right, title, or
304 interest renders the order of forfeiture invalid in whole or in part because the right, title, or
305 interest was vested in the claimant rather than the defendant or was superior to any right, title,
306 or interest of the defendant at the time of the commission of the acts or conduct that gave rise

307 to the forfeiture of the property under this section; or
308 (ii) the claimant acquired the right, title, or interest in the property in a bona fide
309 transaction for value, and, at the time of acquisition, the claimant did not know that the
310 property was subject to forfeiture.
311 (g) Following the court's disposition of all petitions filed under this Subsection (10), or
312 if no petitions are filed following the expiration of the period provided in Subsection (10)(b)
313 for the filing of petitions, the state has clear title to property subject to the order of forfeiture

322 not exceed 20% of the value of the property.

331 order, upon petition of the prosecuting attorney, authorizing the property to be transferred.
332 (b) The court may not enter an order authorizing a transfer under Subsection (1)(a)
333 unless:
334 (i) the conduct giving rise to the investigation or seizure is interstate in nature and
335 sufficiently complex to justify the transfer;

348 (B) contains the names and addresses of any claimants then known; and
349 (C) is signed by the prosecutor.
350 (d) The court may not authorize the transfer of property to the federal government if
351 the transfer would circumvent the protections of the Utah Constitution or of this chapter that
352 would otherwise be available to the property owner.
353 (e) (i) Prior to granting any order to transfer pursuant to this section, the court shall
354 give any claimant the right to be heard with regard to the transfer by the mailing of a notice to
355 each address contained in the declaration.
356 (ii) If no claimant objects to the petition to transfer property within 10 days of the
357 mailing of the notice, the court shall issue its order under this section.
