402 - Publication of notice of abandoned property.

§  402. Publication of notice of abandoned property.  1. Within thirty
  days after making  a  report  of  abandoned  property  pursuant  to  the
  provisions  of section four hundred one, such corporation shall cause to
  be published a notice entitled: "NOTICE OF  CERTAIN  UNCLAIMED  PROPERTY
  HELD BY (name of corporation)."
    2.  Such notice shall be published once in two newspapers published in
  the county where such deposits, payments or payments to be refunded were
  made. If there is only one newspaper published in any such county,  such
  notice  shall be published in such newspaper. If there are no newspapers
  published in such county, then such publication shall be in a  newspaper
  published  in  an  adjacent  county.  Such  publication  shall  be  in a
  newspaper printed in the English language and any other  newspaper  that
  will  substantially  serve  to  inform  the  public  of  such  abandoned
  property. The comptroller shall promulgate rules to determine when it is
  appropriate to designate an additional publication.
    3. Such notice shall be approved as to form by the  state  comptroller
  and shall state:
    (a) that a report of unclaimed amounts of money or other property held
  or owing by it has been made to the state comptroller and that a list of
  the  names  of  the person or persons appearing from the records of such
  corporation to be entitled  thereto  is  on  file  and  open  to  public
  inspection  at  its  principal  office or place of business in any city,
  village or county where any such abandoned property is payable;
    (b) that such deposits, payments and refunds, together  with  interest
  due  thereon and less lawful deductions, will be paid by it on or before
  the succeeding thirtieth day of September to persons establishing to its
  satisfaction their right to receive the same; and
    (c) that in the succeeding month of October,  and  on  or  before  the
  tenth  day  thereof,  such  unclaimed  deposits,  payments  and refunds,
  together with interest due thereon and  less  lawful  deductions,  still
  remaining  will  be  paid  to  the  state  comptroller and that it shall
  thereupon cease to be liable therefor.
    4. Such corporation shall file with the state comptroller on or before
  the tenth day of September in each  year  proof  by  affidavit  of  such
  publication.
