Unclaimed property: secure payment of claims.
Summary
The Unclaimed Property Law governs the disposition of unclaimed property, including the escheat of certain property to the state. Those provisions require a person holding funds or other property escheated to the state to report to the Controller certain information regarding the property and the owner, and set forth procedures whereby a person may file a claim to the property or to the net proceeds from its sale. This bill would authorize the Controller to implement additional measures designed to streamline the secure payment of claims, as specified.
