Requires State agencies to report final compensation due a State employee to the Treasurer's Office as unclaimed property if the employee dies while employed. Requires a holder who holds property presumed abandoned to hold the property in trust for the benefit of the State Treasurer on behalf of the owner from and after the date the property is presumed abandoned.

Creates authority for the Secretary of the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to order a regulated person under the Act to immediately report and remit property subject to the Act if the Secretary determines that the action is necessary to protect the interest of an owner. Establishes a procedure regulating agreements between an owner or apparent owner and a finder to locate or recover property held by the State Treasurer.

Requires that, before the termination of a trust, a trustee must conduct a reasonable search for any trust property that has been reported and remitted to a State unclaimed property administrator. Provides that, in the tenth year after the opening of an account holding property covered by the Act for which the apparent owner has not, within the previous 3 years, indicated interest under the Act and that is not otherwise presumed abandoned, the holder shall attempt to contact the apparent owner in a manner substantially similar to the notice required by the Act.
