Subchapter 2 - Unclaimed Property Act
§ 18-28-208. Payment or delivery of abandoned property

(a) Except for property held in a safe deposit box or other safekeeping depository, upon filing the report required by § 18-28-207, the holder of property presumed abandoned shall pay, deliver, or cause to be paid or delivered to the administrator the property described in the report as unclaimed, but if the property is an automatically renewable deposit, and a penalty or forfeiture in the payment of interest would result, the time for compliance is extended until a penalty or forfeiture would no longer result. Tangible property held in a safe deposit box or other safekeeping depository may not be delivered to the administrator until one hundred twenty (120) days after filing the report required by § 18-28-207.
(b) If the property reported to the administrator is a security or security entitlement under § 4-8-101 et seq. (UCC — Investment Securities), the administrator is an appropriate person to make an indorsement, instruction, or entitlement order on behalf of the apparent owner to invoke the duty of the issuer or its transfer agent or the securities intermediary to transfer or dispose of the security or the security entitlement in accordance with § 4-8-101 et seq. (UCC — Investment Securities).
(c) If the holder of property reported to the administrator is the issuer of a certificated security, the administrator has the right to obtain a replacement certificate pursuant to § 4-8-405, but an indemnity bond is not required.
(d) An issuer, the holder, and any transfer agent or other person acting pursuant to the instructions of and on behalf of the issuer or holder in accordance with this section is not liable to the apparent owner and must be indemnified against claims of any person in accordance with § 18-28-210.
