Favors Bank Law Change Inactive Funds Debate
State Treasurer George Hart urged Kansas banks to seek legislative changes to the inactive state funds law after noting criticism from smaller banks over a 10 percent cut in awards. He said awards for two years were spread on a 70 percent pro rata basis of capital and surplus due to limited funds, down from 80 percent previously.
