The State Treasurer shall determine, from time to time, what amount of unclaimed property in custody should be retained as a reserve in order to ensure that all claims presented by persons legally establishing a right to any unclaimed property shall be paid promptly. In making such determination, the State Treasurer shall take into account the following:
1. The actual experience of other states having unclaimed property laws, as to the amount of claims presented and established as compared to the total amount of property taken into state custody;
2. Such actuarial or other experience or statistics as may be available to show the frequency of the discovery of missing persons or their unknown heirs;
3. Any other discoverable and relevant data having a tendency to establish the amount of reserve necessary for the purpose stated in this section.
The State Treasurer, after having found and determined the reserve necessary as stated in this section, shall pay all amounts in custody in excess of the necessary reserve into the State Treasury to the credit of the General Revenue Fund.
When monies are deposited to the credit of the General Revenue Fund, all rights of any owner of unclaimed property to resort against the money so paid into the General Revenue Fund shall terminate, but the right of any person legally establishing a claim to any property right which has been taken into the custody of the State Treasurer shall be preserved and the value thereof shall be paid from such reserve.
