MEMORANDUM

Posted:	January 30, 2013 02:11 PM
From:	Senator Richard A Kasunic

Subject:	Drug-Related Property Seizure and Control Legislation

In the near future, I plan to re-introduce the following pieces of legislation. If you have any questions please contact my office at 717-787-7175.

Document #1

Description:

Legislation that authorizes the seizure of leased property when the owner has knowledge, actual or imputed, of the property's use for drugs.  For example, if a house is rented and is a "drug house", the owner may lose the house to the Commonwealth if the Commonwealth can prove the owner had knowledge of the property’s use as a “drug house”.  The bill would dedicate monies collected from drug seizures to be given to a bona fide community action group who is dedicated to the community.  This was formerly Senate Bill 485 of the last session and previous co-sponsors included: BOSCOLA , BREWSTER, BROWNE , KITCHEN , RAFFERTY , SOLOBAY and STACK.

Document #2

Description:	Legislation amending the Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act to include Oxycontin to the list of Schedule I narcotics.  The legislation does provide an exemption for medicinal purposes.  This was formerly Senate Bill 486 of the last session and previous co-sponsors included: BOSCOLA , BREWSTER, BROWNE , KITCHEN , RAFFERTY , SOLOBAY and TARTAGLIONE.
