Chapter 2981: FORFEITURE
2981.14 Forfeiture under federal law.
(A) Nothing in this chapter precludes the head of a law enforcement agency that seizes property from seeking forfeiture under federal law. If the property is forfeitable under this chapter and federal forfeiture is not sought, the property is subject only to this chapter.
(B) Any law enforcement agency that receives moneys from a sale of forfeited property under federal law shall deposit, use, and account for the amounts, including any interest derived, in accordance with applicable federal law. If the state highway patrol or the investigative unit of the department of public safety receives such federal forfeiture moneys, the appropriate official shall deposit all interest or other earnings derived from the investment of the moneys into the contraband, forfeiture, and other fund of the highway patrol or the department, whichever is appropriate.
