Primary Sponsor: DeLuca Additional Sponsor(s):    Rep. Cathcart
CoSponsors: Cook Sorenson Still Adams Blevins Copeland,Oberle Gilligan Keeley Maier Manolakos Miro Wagner
Introduced on : 06/26/2008
Long Title:AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 12 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ESCHEATS.
Synopsis:SYNOPSIS

This bill follows the trend in other states to lower the period of dormancy to 3 years for investment type properties. Federal securities laws generally require due diligence to be performed twice before the expiration of 3 years. If an owner cannot be located within this period and reunited with his property the purposes of abandoned property laws are advanced by having this property turned over to the State in this shorter period of time rather than have it remain in the hands of the holder or his agent.
