What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person who holds property that has been determined to be abandoned by the owner of the property must pay or deliver that property to the state treasurer (treasurer). If the person who holds the property fails to pay or deliver the property within the time required by law, the person must pay interest on the property or the value of the property at the annual rate of 18 percent from the date the property should have been paid or delivered. Under this bill, the treasurer may only require a person to pay interest on the property if the person has willfully neglected to pay or deliver the property in a timely manner. The bill also changes the interest rate from 18 percent to 12 percent.
