A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 6116 AS INTRODUCED 5-31-06

Under Public Act 54 of 1959, a county sheriff who has recovered stolen property, (including money) that is unclaimed for six months must report the recovery to the county board of commissioners and request authority to dispose of it as provided in the act. 

House Bill 6116 would amend the act to provide that if the property is an abandoned or stolen bicycle, the sheriff could request authority from the board to donate the bicycle to a state licensed charitable organization.
