A. At any time after personal property has been paid or delivered to the State Treasurer under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, another state may recover the property if:
1. The property was subjected to custody by this state because the records of the holder did not reflect the last-known address of the apparent owner when the property was presumed abandoned under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, and the other state establishes that the last-known address of the apparent owner or other person entitled to the property was in that state and under the laws of that state the property escheated to or was subject to a claim of abandonment by that state;
2. The last-known address of the apparent owner or other person entitled to the property, as reflected by the records of the holder, is in the other state and under the laws of that state the property has escheated to or become subject to a claim of abandonment by that state;
3. The records of the holder were erroneous in that they did not accurately reflect the actual owner of the property and the last-known address of the actual owner is in the other state and under the laws of that state the property escheated to or was subject to a claim of abandonment by that state;
4. The property was subjected to custody by this state under subsection (f) of Section 659 of this title and under the laws of the state of domicile of the holder the property has escheated to or become subject to a claim of abandonment by that state; or
5. The property is the sum payable on a travelers check, money order, or other similar instrument that was subjected to custody by this state under Section 651.2 of this title, and the instrument was purchased in the other state, and under the laws of that state the property escheated to or became subject to a claim of abandonment by that state.
B. The claim of another state to recover escheated or abandoned property must be presented in a form prescribed by the State Treasurer, which shall decide the claim within ninety (90) days after it is presented. The State Treasurer shall allow the claim if the State Treasurer determines that the other state is entitled to the abandoned property under subsection A of this section.
C. The State Treasurer shall require a state, before recovering property under this section, to agree to indemnify this state and its officers and employees against liability on a claim for the property.
