Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
