To amend section 511 of the Controlled Substances Act to make technical, clarifying, and administrative amendments, and for other purposes.

Summary

Amends the Controlled Substances Act to direct the Attorney General to assure that property is not transferred to a State or local law enforcement agency following utilization of an adopted seizure process (i.e., one in which investigative and prosecutive activity related to the seizure, other than activity related to the actual forfeiture, was carried out by State and local agencies) to circumvent any requirement of State law that limits the disposition of property forfeited to State or local agencies. Authorizes the Attorney General, in making such determination, to rely upon a written opinion of the Attorney General of the pertinent State that such process is not being utilized to circumvent State law. Specifies that the Attorney General's decision is not subject to review by any court. Amends the Federal judicial code to authorize the Attorney General to warrant clear title to any subsequent purchaser or transferee of forfeited property. Amends the Controlled Substances Act to authorize the Attorney General to carry out seizure and forfeiture of moneys in the manner provided with respect to the seizure and forfeiture of conveyances by the Secretary of the Treasury under the Tariff Act of 1930.
