SCS/SB 497 - Current law requires unclaimed money or property found upon a deceased person be delivered to the public administrator. This act requires the public administrator to follow the procedures laid out for taking charge of a deceased person's estate. In addition to other circumstances, the public administrator shall have the duty of taking charge of a deceased person's estate when monies are delivered to him or her by the county coroner.

These sections changes the deadline from April 1 of each year to any date on or before the first Monday of July for county commissions to receive proposals and publicly open bids from banks to be selected as the depositaries of county funds. The provision requiring counties to divide the funds is repealed.
