HB 899 -- County Treasurers

Sponsor:  Wilson (119)

Currently, any unclaimed money or property found upon a deceased
person is to be delivered to the public administrator who
forwards it to the treasurer for deposit to the credit of the
city or county.  This bill specifies that the public
administrator will be responsible for placing the money to the
credit of the city or county and selling any property at a public
auction.  If the money received by the public administrator is
demanded within five years by a legal representative of the
deceased, the public administrator will pay the money to the
person.

The deadline for county commissions to receive proposals and
publicly open bids from banks regarding the selection of the
depository of county funds is changed from April 1 of each year
to any date on or before the first Monday of July.
