Senate Resolution No. by Senator Talbot proclaims June 5, 2023, as Louisiana Unclaimed Property Day, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the Louisiana Unclaimed Property Program. Established in 1972, this program is designed to manage abandoned financial assets, which include unclaimed bank accounts, unpaid wages, securities, life insurance payouts, uncashed checks, and the contents of safe deposit boxes that have been inactive for a specified period.

Since its inception, the program has successfully issued approximately 1.38 million checks totaling $727 million to rightful owners of unclaimed property. This resolution serves to recognize the significance of the program and its impact on the citizens of Louisiana over the past fifty years.
