(a) Property held by the treasurer under this part is subject to the right of another state to take custody of the property if:

(B) Under the law of that state, the property has become subject to a claim of abandonment by that state;
(2) The records of the holder did not accurately identify the apparent owner of the property, the last known address of the owner was in another state, and, under the law of that state, the property has become subject to a claim of abandonment in that state;
(3) The property was subject to the custody of the treasurer of this state under § 66-29-119 and, under the law of the state of domicile of the holder, the property has become subject to a claim of abandonment by the state of domicile of the holder; or
(4) The property:
(A) Is a sum payable on a traveler's check, money order, or similar instrument that was purchased in another state and delivered to the treasurer under § 66-29-120; and
(B) Under the law of that state, has become subject to a claim of abandonment in that state.
(b) A claim by another state to recover property under this section must be presented in a form prescribed by the treasurer unless the treasurer waives presentation of the form.
