What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, a person holding tangible or intangible property presumed

to be abandoned by the owner must report the unclaimed property to the state

treasurer (treasurer). A person claiming an interest in the reported property may

file a claim with the treasurer to recover the unclaimed property. Current law

permits a person who claims an interest in the reported property to enter into an

agreement that permits another person to locate, deliver, recover, or assist in the

recovery of that property. This bill requires a copy of any such agreement to be

included with the claim filed with the treasurer.
