Description

Unclaimed property; deposits with financial institutions; charges and interest. Clarifies the criteria that must be met for a bank or other financial organization to impose charges or cease to pay interest on a dormant or inactive account that differ from those imposed on active accounts. The holder may reverse or cancel dormancy charges or retroactively credit interest upon the request of the owner if it also does so for all such property that becomes subject to certain statutory reporting requirements regarding unclaimed property. If the holder elects not to reverse or cancel dormancy charges or retroactively credit interest with respect to any such property, then it is not required to reverse or cancel dormancy charges or retroactively credit interest for property that becomes subject to the reporting requirements regarding unclaimed property. A holder may also reverse or cancel dormancy charges or retroactively credit interest with respect to any or all such property to correct a documented internal error without becoming required to reverse or cancel dormancy charges or retroactively credit interest for all such property that becomes subject to unclaimed property reporting requirements. An enactment states that the measure is declarative of existing law. This bill is identical to HB 686. Read the Bill »
