Revise the uniform unclaimed property act
This bill updates Montana's unclaimed property laws to modernize definitions and improve how abandoned property is handled. It directly affects businesses, financial institutions, and the state Department of Revenue by clarifying what counts as unclaimed property and who holds it. Key changes include adding "payroll card" accounts to the list of covered property, updating definitions for personal information to include digital identifiers, and refining rules for mineral proceeds. The bill also establishes new presumptions of abandonment and requires holders to report unclaimed property via email delivery. These provisions aim to streamline the process for locating and returning unclaimed assets to their rightful owners.
