Floor Amendment to SB 148-FN
Amend RSA 562-A:8 as inserted by section 1 of the bill by replacing it with the following:
562-A:8 Time of Application of Forfeiture. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, a forfeiture arising under this chapter may be determined at any time prior to the closure of the decedent’s estate by the probate court. This chapter shall be construed to apply to all estates that have not been closed by the probate court prior to the effective date of this chapter.
562-A:9 Criminal Prosecution Not Affected.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to limit the ability of the state of New Hampshire to take any action or utilize any process to enforce the criminal laws of this state. A final decision on the merits rendered by a court in a civil proceeding brought by a private person, an estate, or an administrator pursuant to RSA 562-A:5, II or III shall not be construed to have any preclusive effect on any criminal prosecution.
