RS 67.3 - False statements and false or altered documents; unclaimed property claim

A. Any person who intentionally makes a material false statement, submits false or altered documentation, or both in any claim submitted pursuant to the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act of 1997 commits a violation of the provisions of this Section.

B. Whoever violates Subsection A of this Section shall be imprisoned with or without hard labor for not more than five years, or fined not more than ten thousand dollars, or both.

C. In addition to the penalty provided by Subsection B of this Section, a person convicted for a violation of this Section shall be ordered to make full restitution to the Department of the Treasury to be deposited in the Louisiana Unclaimed Property Permanent Trust Fund in the amount of funds obtained as a result of the offense. If the person ordered to make restitution pursuant to this Section is found to be indigent and therefore unable to make restitution in full at the time of conviction, the court shall order a periodic payment plan consistent with the person's financial ability.
