Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the abandoned property law to provide that interest accrues on unclaimed spousal and child support payments held by the state comptroller for the first five years (at the tax overpayment rate less one point), which increases the total amount the recipient (typically the custodial or supported parent) ultimately receives from the paying parent's obligations.
