An Act relative to the uniform special deposit

This bill establishes a uniform legal framework for "special deposits" - funds held by banks under specific agreements that require a condition to be met before payment. It defines these deposits as requiring at least two beneficiaries, a clear purpose (such as escrow for transactions, security deposits, or retirement benefits), and a condition (like a completed sale) that must occur first. The law mandates banks pay beneficiaries only after the condition is met and the bank has knowledge of it, while limiting how agreements can be changed without beneficiary consent. This directly affects banks, depositors, and beneficiaries using these accounts for financial arrangements like holding funds for transactions or security.
