KCC §6-1.3

What happens to unclaimed money in county trust funds

Read the official text at ecode360.com ↗

This section says when money in the county's trust fund is not used for its original purpose and no one claims it, the county moves it to its general fund. The waiting time depends on when the money was deposited. After that, the county keeps the money as general revenue.
