§ 3113a. Abandoned property; satisfaction of tax liabilities
The commissioner may request from the office of the treasurer the names and Social Security or federal identification numbers of owners of unclaimed property prior to notice being given to such persons pursuant to section 1249 of Title 27. If any such owner owes taxes to the state, the commissioner, after notice to the owner, may request and the treasurer shall transfer the abandoned property of such owner to the department for setoff of the taxes owed. The notice shall advise the owner of the action being taken and the right to appeal the setoff if the tax debt is not the owner's debt; or if the debt has been paid; or if the tax debt was appealed within 60 days from the date of the assessment and the appeal has not been finally determined; or if the debt was discharged in bankruptcy.
