SECTION 735:80-13-1. Purpose and general overview of protest procedure

Latest version.

(a)   The purpose of this Subchapter is to give the protestant, or the protestant's representative, a reasonable way to have the case considered fairly, and to give the protestant an opportunity to resolve disagreements with OST in the administration of the unclaimed property laws without having to go through a formal hearing. The provisions of this Subchapter are provided to protestants who wish to challenge a decision of the Unclaimed Property Division.
(b)   If a case cannot be resolved informally, the provisions of this Subchapter provide for a formal hearing before a hearing examiner, who is independent of the Unclaimed Property Division. The hearing examiner makes proposed Findings, Conclusions and Recommendations which are reviewed and acted on by the Treasurer.
(c)   The protestant retains the right to seek relief by way of appeal to state district court.
