No forfeiture fund transfer may be spent before Congress is told
What the document says“None of the funds identified for such a transfer may be obligated until the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate are notified of the proposed transfer.”
Section 103(b). Subsection (a) requires the Secretary, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, to notify both Appropriations Committees of any proposed transfer from the Department of the Treasury Forfeiture Fund to an agency within the Department of Homeland Security under section 9705(g)(4)(B) of title 31. This subsection bars the money from being committed until that notice has been given.
What the document actually says“None of the funds identified for such a transfer may be obligated until the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate are notified of the proposed transfer.”
Money moved over from a seized property fund cannot be spent yet. Congress must be told about the move first.
Some property seized in cases is sold. The cash goes into a fund. Moving it to homeland security needs notice first.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
