wherein such seizure occurs. Any money or other | 3 | | thing of value integrally
related to acts of gambling shall be | 4 | | seized and forfeited to the county
wherein such seizure occurs.
| 5 | | (c) If, within 60 days after any seizure pursuant to | 6 | | subparagraph
(b) of this Section, a person having any property | 7 | | interest in the seized
property is charged with an offense, the | 8 | | court which renders judgment
upon such charge shall, within 30 | 9 | | days after such judgment, conduct a
forfeiture hearing to | 10 | | determine whether such property was a gambling device
at the | 11 | | time of seizure. Such hearing shall be commenced by a written
| 12 | | petition by the State, including material allegations of fact, | 13 | | the name
and address of every person determined by the State to | 14 | | have any property
interest in the seized property, a | 15 | | representation that written notice of
the date, time and place | 16 | | of such hearing has been mailed to every such
person by | 17 | | certified mail at least 10 days before such date, and a
request | 18 | | for forfeiture. Every such person may appear as a party and
| 19 | | present evidence at such hearing. The quantum of proof required | 20 | | shall

the State. If the court determines that the | 22 | | seized property was

received by the State's Attorney and, upon | 4 | | liquidation, shall be

occurred. However, in the event | 6 | | that a defendant raises the defense
that the seized slot | 7 | | machine is an antique slot machine described in
subparagraph | 8 | | (b) (7) of Section 28-1 of this Code and therefore he is
exempt | 9 | | from the charge of a gambling activity participant, the seized
| 10 | | antique slot machine shall not be destroyed or otherwise | 11 | | altered until a
final determination is made by the Court as to | 12 | | whether it is such an
antique slot machine. Upon a final | 13 | | determination by the Court of this
question in favor of the | 14 | | defendant, such slot machine shall be
immediately returned to | 15 | | the defendant. Such order of forfeiture and
disposition shall, | 16 | | for the purposes of appeal, be a final order and
judgment in a | 17 | | civil proceeding.
| 18 | | (d) If a seizure pursuant to subparagraph (b) of this | 19 | | Section is not
followed by a charge pursuant to subparagraph | 20 | | (c) of this Section, or if
the prosecution of such charge is | 21 | | permanently terminated or indefinitely
discontinued without | 22 | | any judgment of conviction or acquittal (1) the
State's | 23 | | Attorney shall commence an in rem proceeding for the forfeiture
