AI Summary

  • Establishes a three-tier appeal process for holders who dispute an administrator's determination that they failed to report or deliver unclaimed property: request for reconsideration, appeal to an administrator-appointed delegate, and circuit court action.

  • Requires the administrator to mail a notice of examination determination by certified or registered mail, with holders having 90 days to either file a request for reconsideration or file an action in circuit court.

  • Holders must deliver non-contested property while their reconsideration request is pending, with interest continuing to accrue on all undelivered property during the dispute process.

  • Grants holders the right to submit additional documentation within 60 days of filing a reconsideration request, with the administrator required to issue a written decision within 60 days (extendable to 183 days for good cause).

  • Specifies that any appeal delegate must be independent from the department's enforcement staff and must have qualifications equivalent to a Michigan civil service administrative law examiner, with hearings conducted within 90 days of filing.
