House Bill 840 amends provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure relating to the forfeiture of contraband used in the commission of certain offenses. The bill expands the definition of "contraband" to include property used to facilitate or intended to be used to facilitate the commission of the offense of criminal solicitation of a child or sexual performance by a child. The bill also provides that under the forfeiture statute the city attorney is the attorney representing the state in certain littering and illegal dumping cases and deletes a reference that made the city attorney the designated prosecutor representing the state in certain money laundering cases.
