Controller: offset payments.
Summary
Existing law authorizes the Controller to offset or deduct certain amounts due a city or county to satisfy certain state claims. Existing law requires the Controller, at the request of the city or county, to offset any amount due a city or county against any amount owing the person or entity by a state agency on a claim for a refund from the Franchise Tax Board or for a refund from the State Board of Equalization, under specified provisions of law, or winnings from the California State Lottery. This bill would include in the Controller's required calculation of the offset amount due a city or county, any amount owing the person or entity by a state agency on a claim filed by the owner, as described, for payment of unclaimed property held by the state.
