AI Summary

  • Amends the statute of limitations for State Treasurer actions against holders of unclaimed property, adding a tolling provision that pauses the 7-year limitation period when a holder receives examination notice or enters a voluntary disclosure agreement

  • Creates the Unclaimed Property Liquidation Proceeds Trust Fund to separately hold proceeds from the sale of abandoned property under section 69-1316, with funds used exclusively to pay related claims

  • Increases the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund balance threshold from $1 million to $5 million before excess funds are transferred out, effective for years 2026-2035 and continuing from 2036 onward
