The act authorizes the state controller to refund to the proper persons, upon the receipt of a voucher from the secretary of state, any moneys erroneously collected by the department of state prior to July 1, 2006. The secretary of state shall transfer the moneys to the unclaimed property trust fund if the moneys cannot be refunded because the warrant goes unclaimed for a year, the secretary cannot determine an address for the intended recipient, or the secretary determines that the amount of erroneously collected money is so small that attempting a refund would be cost-prohibitive.
