Disposition of judicially forfeited seized property.
When seized property, other than fish, shellfish, and wildlife, is judicially forfeited to the department, the department may: (1) Retain it for official use unless the property is required to be destroyed; (2) upon application by any law enforcement agency of the state, release the property to the agency for use in enforcing this title; (3) donate the property as provided under RCW
77.130.060; or (4) sell the property and deposit the proceeds into the fish and wildlife enforcement reward account created in RCW
77.15.425. Any sale of the property must be done in accordance with RCW
77.130.010(1) and
77.130.020. However, the requirement in those sections for notice to owners does not apply.
