• Constitutional authority statementThe sponsor’s statement of where the Constitution gives Congress the power to pass this bill. Statement by Mr. SENSENBRENNER, as printed in the Congressional Record (Vol. 162, No. 80, May 19, 2016, Page H2880):
  Recognizing that numerous federal criminal law statutes (through which federal civil asset forfeiture is enacted) have tenuous constitutional justifications, this reform bill embeds and advances constitutional principles found in the Fourth, Fifth, Tenth Amendments. The bill also derives authority from Congress' Article I, Section 8, clause 9 authority to ``constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court.'' This authority includes the rules and procedures used by inferior federal courts.

  PORKER shows the statement exactly as printed, with the page markup removed. It is the sponsor’s claim; it is not a legal finding.

Congress.gov’s record for this bill does not list a CBO cost estimate (as of December 5, 2025). Not every bill gets one.
