AI Summary

  • Amends section 69-1311 to require the State Treasurer to publish abandoned property notices once in a legal newspaper of general circulation in each county where a listed person's last known address is located

  • Removes the previous requirement that notices be published specifically in an "English language" newspaper

  • Maintains the $50 threshold for mandatory publication and mailed notices, with the State Treasurer retaining discretion to publish items of lesser value if deemed in the public interest
