(a)
(1)
Escheated funds deposited in the Insurance Fund pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 1523 of the Code of Civil Procedure shall be transferred to the General Fund on June 30, 1998, to repay the principal and interest on the General Fund loan provided pursuant to Item 0845-001-0001 of the Budget Act of 1996, and such funds are hereby continuously appropriated for that purpose.
(2)
If the Director of Finance determines that funds subject to escheat for the 1997–98 fiscal year are insufficient to repay the General Fund loan plus the interest owed, funds subject to escheat in the 1998–99 fiscal year, up to the amount necessary to repay the General Fund loan plus the interest owed, shall be available for expenditure by the commissioner to repay the principal and interest on the General Fund loan. Notwithstanding the loan repayment date specified in Item 0845-001-0001 of the Budget Act of 1996, such a determination by the Director of Finance shall trigger an extension of the loan repayment date to June 30, 1999.
(b)
A policyholder who was entitled to a rebate pursuant to settlement or order of the commissioner and who has not received the escheated rebate may submit a claim to the Controller. The Controller shall pay the claim from among the Proposition 103 refunds that have escheated to the state and been deposited in the Unclaimed Property Fund upon verification that the claim is valid.
