Bill Summary
HR 79, as introduced, Valencia.
AI Summary
This resolution, HR 79, recognizes the month of February 2026 as Unclaimed Property Month in California, aiming to raise awareness about the significant amount of unclaimed property in the state, which currently exceeds $15.4 billion and includes over 93 million individual properties. Unclaimed property refers to financial assets like uncashed checks or insurance proceeds that are considered lost or abandoned when the owner cannot be located. The resolution encourages Californians to visit the Controller's website, www.claimit.ca.gov, which is a free service, to check if they have any unclaimed property and to share this information with others, highlighting the Controller's ongoing commitment to returning these assets to their rightful owners, as evidenced by the return of over $534 million last year.
