Unclaimed Property - As introduced, allows the treasurer to file the annual report regarding the total amount and value of abandoned or unclaimed property with certain executive and legislative branch officials electronically. - Amends TCA Title 66.
HB 1719 amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 66 to allow the state treasurer to submit annual reports on unclaimed property electronically instead of in paper form. The bill directly affects the treasurer's office by updating the reporting method required under Section 66-29-165(b)(2). It adds a new provision stating "The report may be submitted electronically," streamlining the process for submitting these reports to designated executive and legislative officials. This change is purely procedural and does not alter the definition of unclaimed property, the handling of funds, or who is affected by unclaimed property laws. The bill focuses solely on modernizing the reporting mechanism.
