(1) There is hereby created in the state treasury a fund to be known as the family support registry fund, which shall consist of any money credited thereto from the investment earnings on money deposited with the state treasurer, money accruing from collections for child support received by the family support registry, any undeliverable child support payments, and any fees collected pursuant to section 26-13-114 (13). Money in the family support registry fund shall be continuously appropriated to the state department to reimburse the family support registry for unfunded payments by obligors or for other incidental expenditures associated with the operation of the family support registry. At the end of any fiscal year, all unexpended and unencumbered money in the family support registry fund shall remain in the fund and shall not be credited or transferred to the general fund or any other fund of the state; except that any non-IV-D child support payments that are undeliverable after two years shall be considered unclaimed property for purposes of the "Revised Uniform Unclaimed Property Act", article 13 of title 38, and shall be reported to the administrator of the "Revised Uniform Unclaimed Property Act" for purposes of locating the payee. Consistent with the requirements for confidentiality of information regarding child support, the state department shall specify the amount of money that is unclaimed and provide sufficient identifying information, if available, to allow the administrator to locate the payee.
