Relative to deposits of property with persons having residences or places of business in the Commonwealth. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 3 of Chapter 200A of the General Laws in Massachusetts, which relates to the presumption of abandoned property deposits. The key provisions include: (1) expanding the types of owner interactions with the deposit holder that prevent a deposit from being presumed abandoned, such as electronic login, interest accrual, or other account activity; (2) allowing the presumption of abandonment to be rebutted if the owner has another active relationship with the deposit holder; and (3) requiring the deposit holder to communicate with the owner at the address where the owner regularly receives communications about the other relationship in order for that relationship to prevent the deposit from being presumed abandoned.
