Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 15-404. Retention of records by holder.

A holder required to file a report under Section 15-401 shall retain records for 10 years after the later of the date the report was filed or the last date a timely report was due to be filed, unless a shorter period is provided by rule of the administrator. The holder may satisfy the requirement to retain records under this Section through an agent.  The records must contain:

(1) the information required to be included in the

report;

(2) the date, place, and nature of the circumstances

that gave rise to the property right;

(3) the amount or value of the property;
(4) the last address of the apparent owner, if known

to the holder;

(5) sufficient records of items which were not

reported as unclaimed, to allow examination to determine whether the holder has complied with the Act; and

(6) if the holder sells, issues, or provides to

others for sale or issue in this State traveler's checks, money orders, or similar instruments, other than third-party bank checks, on which the holder is directly liable, a record of the instruments while they remain outstanding indicating the state and date of issue.
