section, a person who willfully fails to render any report or

deliver property or perform any other duties required under the

months, or both.

E. The interest or penalty or any portion thereof, as imposed

by subsection A, B or C of this section, may be waived or remitted

by the State Treasurer if the person’s failure to pay abandoned

Treasurer or if such failure has resulted from a mistake by the

person of either the law or the facts subjecting that person to pay

abandoned funds or deliver property subject to the Uniform Unclaimed

Property Act, or inability to pay such interest or penalty resulting

from insolvency. The State Treasurer shall promulgate rules in

accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act requiring the

identification and recording of those circumstances under which

interest or penalty, as imposed by subsection A, B, or C of this

section, may be waived. The State Treasurer may also authorize

amnesty programs to promote voluntary compliance with the Uniform

Unclaimed Property Act, and may participate and cooperate with other

state administrators of abandoned or unclaimed property programs in

nationwide amnesty programs. For purposes of this section, amnesty

programs are programs in which potential holders of unclaimed

property are granted waivers of interest and civil penalties if they
