CA SB1217

Allows state employees to designate a primary person and up to three contingent persons to receive their unpaid warrants upon death.

If the primary designee predeceases the employee, warrants automatically pass to the next surviving designated contingent person in order.

Designees can claim warrants from the appointing power with proof of identity and may negotiate the warrants as the payee.

Employees may change their warrant designations at any time.

Clarifies that "person" includes corporations, trusts, and estates as eligible designees.
