§ 1310.Cash Transmitted to Treasurer and Person Property Transmitted to Controller For Deposit

This section is the entry point for property coming into the state's hands under this Title. Whenever some other provision of law -- or this Title itself -- says unclaimed money or property has to go into the State Treasury, this section tells the person making that payment where to send it.

The split is simple: cash goes to the Treasurer. Everything else -- personal property other than cash -- goes to the Controller, who then deposits it in the State Treasury. That division reflects the different roles the two offices play throughout the rest of the Title, with the Treasurer handling money and the Controller handling accounting and non-cash property.
