New law will help property owners, holders
by a Kansan reporter
Gov. Mike Hayden signed into law last week a bill that would benefit both holders and owners of unclaimed property, said Joan Finney, state treasurer.
The newly-signed law concerning unclaimed property will go into effect in July. The bill was entered into the Senate after being proposed by Finney and passed overwhelmingly in both houses before to Hayden.
The new law will work in conjunction with current unclaimed
property laws.
Under the current property law, any business or financial institution holding abandoned property belonging to a Kansas citizen is required to report it to the state Treasury Department. The property would then be returned to its owners.
The new amendments to the law would shorten the required reporting period from 7 years to 5 years.
It also would change the dollar limits for which detailed reports must be filed.
"These changes should benefit holders of abandoned property by shortening the time period they must hold and account for the property and make reporting easier by requiring less detail on small amounts," Finney said.
Another change in the law would make abandoned property held by federal agencies subject to the state's unclaimed property laws.
"Owners will benefit because their forgotten property will become available to be claimed from the treasury more quickly." Finney said.

Local Briefs
The mural that he had been working on for more than three months had been nearly destroyed, he said.
At 9:58 a.m. Thursday, the artist reported to Lawrence police that his mural on the Kansas river levee, 1/2 mile west of the Massachusetts Street Bridge, had been damaged overnight by vandals.
MURAL VANDALIZED: On Thursday, when Stan Herd went to check on the landscape mural he is doing for Lawrence's Independence Days, he had a shock.
"They just tore up the design," he said. "They took the rocks and threw them around."
The artist, who is well known for last year's people-landscape art of Coke and Pepsi bottles, estimated the damage at $300.
"We just figured out how many hours people had spent on the
design, and how much it was damaged," Herd said.
Herd said that the design had been months in the making, but actual work had been going on for about a month.
Chris Mulvenon, Lawrence police spokesman, said the wooden blocks placed between the colored rocks also had been pulled up from the earth.
Herd said he didn't understand why his art was vandalized.
"It is so frustrating that someone destroys it before you're even finished," Herd said. "It was a real shock."
"Maybe it was some art critic who's never liked my work. That's just tongue-in-cheek." he said.
