Sec. 29B-14. Innocent owner hearing.(a) After a complaint for forfeiture has been filed and all claimants have appeared and answered, a claimant may file a motion with the court for an innocent owner hearing prior to trial.  This motion shall be made and supported by sworn affidavit and shall assert the following along with specific facts that support each assertion:(1) that the claimant filing the motion is the true     owner of the conveyance as interpreted by case law;(2) that the claimant was not legally accountable for     the conduct giving rise to the forfeiture or acquiesced in the conduct;(3) that the claimant did not solicit, conspire, or     attempt to commit the conduct giving rise to the forfeiture;(4) that the claimant did not know or did not have     reason to know that the conduct giving rise to the forfeiture was likely to occur; and(5) that the claimant did not hold the property for     the benefit of, or as nominee for,  any person whose conduct gave rise to its forfeiture,  or if the claimant acquired the interest through any person, the claimant acquired it as a bona fide purchaser for value or acquired the interest without knowledge of the seizure of the property for forfeiture.(b) The claimant's motion shall include specific facts supporting these assertions.(c) Upon this filing, a hearing may only be conducted after the parties have been given the opportunity to conduct limited discovery as to the ownership and control of the property, the claimant's knowledge, or any matter relevant to the issues raised or facts alleged in the claimant's motion.  Discovery shall be limited to the People's requests in these areas but may proceed by any means allowed in the Code of Civil Procedure.(1) After discovery is complete and the court has     allowed for sufficient time to review and investigate the discovery responses, the court shall conduct a hearing.  At the hearing, the fact that the conveyance is subject to forfeiture shall not be at issue. The court shall only hear evidence relating to the issue of innocent ownership.(2) At the hearing on the motion, it shall be the     burden of the claimant to prove each of the assertions listed in subsection (a)  of this Section by a preponderance of the evidence.(3) If a claimant meets his or her burden of proof,     the court shall grant the motion and order the property returned to the claimant.  If the claimant fails to meet his or her burden of proof, then the court shall deny the motion and the forfeiture case shall proceed according to the Code of Civil Procedure.

Sec. 29D-5.     Legislative findings.     The devastating consequences of the  barbaric attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11,  2001 underscore the compelling need for legislation that is specifically  designed to combat the evils of terrorism.   Terrorism is inconsistent with civilized society and cannot be  tolerated.A comprehensive State law is urgently needed to complement federal  laws in the fight against terrorism and to better protect all citizens against  terrorist acts. Accordingly, the legislature finds that our laws must be  strengthened to ensure that terrorists, as well as those who solicit or provide  financial and other support to terrorists, are prosecuted and punished in State  courts with appropriate severity. The legislature further finds that due to the  grave nature and global reach of terrorism that a comprehensive law  encompassing State criminal statutes and strong civil remedies is needed.An investigation may not be initiated or continued for activities  protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, including  expressions of support or the provision of financial support for the nonviolent  political, religious, philosophical, or ideological goals or beliefs of any  person or group.
