Senate passes bill fixing statutory references in unclaimed property code (SB 1037)
Summary
The Senate passed a technical-revision bill (Senate Bill 10‑37) on Feb. 5, 2025, correcting cross-references in Idaho Code related to unclaimed property and succession to property; the bill passed the Senate 35–0 and will be transmitted to the House.
Senate Bill 10‑37, a technical bill revising statutory cross-references in Idaho’s unclaimed property and succession provisions, passed the Idaho Senate Feb. 5, 2025, by a recorded vote of 35–0 and will be transmitted to the House.
The bill, carried by the State Affairs Committee, corrects two ministerial references in section 66‑906 of Idaho Code that were left misaligned following a 2024 rewrite of Title 14, Chapter 5 (the Unclaimed Property Act). Senator Foreman explained that the bill replaces an incorrect citation (section 14‑5‑13) with the correct reference (section 14‑5‑201(1)(i)) and removes struck language that conflicted with the revised unclaimed property statute after consultation with the Idaho State Treasurer’s office.
Senator Foreman opened debate, described the technical nature of the changes and asked for an affirmative vote. With debate closed, the roll call recorded 35 senators voting in favor, none against. The clerk announced the Senate vote count of 35‑0, concluding that a majority had voted in the affirmative. The title was approved and the bill was ordered transmitted to the House.
Ending: The bill’s passage resolves a statutory inconsistency with the state’s rewritten Unclaimed Property Act; the House will receive the Senate-passed version for its action.
