Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the summary and inserting the following:

SUMMARY

This amendment, which is the minority report of the Joint Standing Committee on Judiciary, replaces the bill with a provision that requires that funds presumed abandoned under the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act in a lawyer's pooled trust account for which no identifying client information can be found must be transferred to the lawyer's pooled trust accounts manager to be used to provide funding to organizations whose primary purpose is to provide civil legal aid to low-income Maine residents. The bill requires the lawyer's trust account program manager to return funds to the Treasurer of State if an owner of funds is identified.
