FISCAL NOTE
House Bill 114
Committee: County and Municipal
Government
Sponsor: Representative Matt Woods
Analyst: Peter Grogan Date: 04/17/2023
House Bill 114 as passed the House of Representatives requires certain unclaimed funds in a
county treasury to be forfeited and subsequently vested in the county treasury to be used solely
for the maintenance, repair, and construction of roads and bridges within the county. The
cumulative balance of unclaimed funds in the county treasuries is estimated to be $14.8 million,
according to information from the Department of Examiners of Public Accounts for fiscal years
ranging from 2019 to 2022.
This bill could increase the obligations of a county by an undetermined amount dependent upon
the costs associated with providing notice of the intended forfeiture of funds held by the county
pursuant to this bill.
