Title: Asset Forfeiture Program Victim, Owner, and Lienholder Remission and Mitigation 
Abstract:

The Department of Justice proposes this rule to improve and update the regulations governing use of funds forfeited though the Asset Forfeiture Program to compensate crime victims and to return property to qualified owners and lienholders. This proposed rule is necessary to update the Department’s regulations governing the remission and mitigation of civil and criminal forfeitures. The proposed changes would result in improved compensation for victims of crime, as well as improved remission and mitigation processes for all victims, owners, and lienholders. This approach is consistent with the goals of The Attorney General’s Guidelines on the Asset Forfeiture Program (July 2018), as well as the Attorney General Guidelines for Victim and Witness Assistance (2022).
