What changed in the latest version

Plain-language change summary

The latest version of SB 460 now requires the state Treasurer to study whether unredeemed gift certificates should become unclaimed property and be transferred to the state. This change is important because it could potentially increase state revenue by collecting unused gift certificate balances, while also assessing the benefits and drawbacks of such a policy. The bill currently does not have any financial impact on the state or municipalities.
