House Bill 6132 would amend the Revised Judicature Act of 1961 to require that any forfeiture or impounding fees be waived for a vehicle that is seized by the state or a local unit of government and subject to forfeiture, if the owner was either (1) arrested or detained, but released without being charged with a crime or municipal civil infraction, or (2) charged with, but acquitted of, committing a crime or a municipal civil infraction. The vehicle would also have to be returned to the owner within seven days.
