In 1995, when H.B. 255 was lobbied and enacted, Utah Code 4a required businesses to remit unclaimed property to the Unclaimed Property Division of the Office of State Treasurer every year. Wording in section 67-4a-804 of the code says: “Property received by the administrator under this chapter is held in custody for the benefit of the owner and is not owned by the state.” HB255 and code 4a are not compatible. The Original Code 4a has precedence.
