HEA 1016 - Unclaimed Money

Unclaimed money. Requires the treasurer of state to return certain unclaimed money directly to the claimant instead of returning the money to a court clerk to present the unclaimed money to the claimant. Removes a requirement that a claimant give notice to the attorney general of proceedings on a claim.

Nice job by Richardson, Koch and VanDenburgh to push through legislation that streamlines the process of returning previously unclaimed money to the claimant. A unanimous House and Senate vote on something that deserved it.

House passed 83-0; Senate passed 46-0.
