Marshall County; abandoned and stolen property, auction procedures revised

SB 175 revises Marshall County's procedures for handling abandoned and stolen property recovered by the sheriff's department. It requires the sheriff to sell unclaimed property (including firearms) after a 12-month period via public or internet auction, with specific notice requirements (20 days of posting or newspaper ads). The bill adds new rules for firearms, mandating permanent records, restricting sales to federally licensed gun dealers via sealed bids, and requiring proceeds to fund the sheriff's office. These changes apply only to Marshall County and take effect October 1, 2026.
