Comprehensive Forfeiture Act of 1982

Summary

Comprehensive Drug Penalty Act of 1982 - Amends the Controlled Substances Act to include within the forfeiture provisions all land and buildings used for holding or storing controlled substances or materials used to manufacture such substances. Provides that a procedure for forfeiture may be brought in the judicial district in which the defendant owning such property is found or in the judicial district in which the criminal prosecution is brought. Establishes within the United States Treasury a revolving fund known as the "Drug Enforcement Fund." Allows the fund to be used for the payment of rewards for information that results in a forfeiture. Requires deposit in this fund of proceeds and profits forfeited as the result of drug violations. Authorizes appropriations from the fund for fiscal years 1984 and 1985. Sets the maximum reward for information at $250,000. Amends the Controlled Substances Act and the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act to increase the maximum authorized fines for certain drug offenses. Permits imposition of an alternative fine up to twice the gross gain derived from the offense. Provides Judicial procedures for seizure of property subject to criminal forfeiture.
