2021 New Jersey Revised Statutes|Title 46 - Property|Section 46:30B-60.1 - Transfer of ownership after delivery with report.

46:30B-60.1 Transfer of ownership after delivery with report.  46:30B-60.1. Transfer of ownership after delivery with report. When a certificate or other evidence of ownership, or a bond or other debt security, registered in the name of a person is delivered to the administrator pursuant to any provision of this chapter and is presented by the administrator to the issuer thereof or its agent, the issuer shall transfer and register it in the name of "Treasurer, State of New Jersey," and a new certificate or security, so registered, shall be delivered to the administrator. The issuer and its transfer agent, registrar, or other person acting on behalf of the issuer in executing and delivering the certificate or security shall be fully and automatically relieved from any liability to any person for any loss or damage caused by the transfer, issuance, and delivery of the certificate or security to the administrator. A record of the issuance of a check, draft, or similar instrument is prima facie evidence of an obligation. In claiming property from a holder who is also the issuer, the administrator's burden of proof as to the existence and amount of the property and its abandonment is satisfied by showing issuance of the instrument and passage of the requisite period of abandonment. Defenses of payment, satisfaction, discharge, and want of consideration are affirmative defenses that shall be established by the holder. If the property reported to the administrator is a security or security entitlement under Subchapter 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code-Investment Securities, N.J.S.12A:8-101 et seq., the administrator is an appropriate person to make an endorsement, instruction, or entitlement order on behalf of the apparent owner to invoke the duty of the issuer or its transfer agent or the securities intermediary to transfer or dispose of the security or the security entitlement in accordance with Subchapter 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code-Investment Securities. If the holder of the property reported to the administrator is the issuer of a certified security, the administrator has the right to obtain a replacement certificate pursuant to N.J.S.12A:8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code-Investment Securities, but an indemnity bond is not required. An issuer, the holder, any transfer agent or other person acting pursuant to the instructions of and on behalf of the issuer or holder in accordance with this section is not liable to the apparent owner and shall be indemnified against claims of any person in accordance with R.S.46:30B-65.
