Some of the more significant changes include:

  • Limitations on the reporting of property owed to those with foreign addresses
  • Reporting property prior to it becoming dormant (“early reporting”)
  • Eliminating reimbursement of businesses that file amended reports
  • Requiring that property presumed abandoned be held in trust for the Delaware State Escheator
