HR 79 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relative to Unclaimed Property Month.

This bill designates February 2026 as Unclaimed Property Month in California to raise awareness about state-held financial assets. It encourages residents to check the state Controller's website to claim unclaimed funds such as uncashed checks and insurance proceeds. The resolution does not change any laws or policies but serves as a public awareness campaign to help people locate and claim their abandoned property. It directs the Assembly Chief Clerk to distribute copies of the resolution for public distribution.

MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made to HR 79. The diff reflects only a reformatting of the same resolution from a printed legislative document layout (with line numbers) to a web page display format on the California legislature's website, including navigation elements and a digest header.

TECHNICAL

The bill text was reformatted from a printed document with line numbers into a web page layout. Website navigation elements (search boxes, links, login, etc.) were added around the unchanged resolution text. A Legislative Counsel's Digest section header was added in the web version. All substantive content - author, coauthors, date, WHEREAS clauses, dollar figures, and resolution language - remains identical.
