In one sentenceSection 1532.1 delays payment or delivery of property escheating under Section 1514 until the Controller requests it or one year passes after the report deadline, whichever comes first, and starts the Controller's one-year notice clock under Section 1531 running from actual receipt rather than the report date.

Full Text of § 1532.1

Text size

Notwithstanding Sections 1531 and 1532, property that escheats to the state pursuant to Section 1514 shall not be paid or delivered to the state until the earlier of (a) the time when the holder is requested to do so by the Controller or (b) within one year after the final date for filing the report required by Section 1530 as specified in subdivision (d) of Section 1530. Within one year after receipt of property as provided by this section, the Controller shall cause a notice to be published as provided in Section 1531.

Plain-English Summary

Most escheated property follows the delivery schedule Section 1532 sets, but property escheating under Section 1514 gets a different timeline, and Section 1532.1 spells it out. Notwithstanding the deadlines in Sections 1531 and 1532, this property doesn't have to be paid or delivered to the state until the earlier of two triggers: the Controller asking the holder to do so, or one year passing after the final date for filing the report required by Section 1530.

Because delivery can be delayed this way, the section also adjusts when the Controller's own publication duty kicks in. Rather than counting from the report date, the Controller has one year after receiving the property under this section to publish notice as Section 1531 describes. The effect is to keep the notice obligation tied to when the state gets the property, not to an earlier date when the holder might still be sitting on it under this section's delayed-delivery rule.
