2010 House Bill 6427 ↩

Senate Roll Call 449: Passed

To include illegal liquor bootlegging in the "predicate" crimes that come under the state racketeering law (RICO), which among other things would allow the seizure and sale of a violator’s assets, with the proceeds going to law enforcement agencies. This is one of the revenue sources proposed to close the gap between expected revenue and desired spending (the “deficit”) in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, 2010. See also House Bill 6426, which increases bootlegging penalties and enforcement.
