(b)In the case of a person employed by the Department of Financial Institutions to perform both duties pertaining to the administration of the Uniform Disposition of Unclaimed Property Act (superseded by the Revised Uniform Unclaimed Property Act) and duties pertaining to a function retained by the Department of Financial Institutions, the State Treasurer, in consultation with the Director of Financial Institutions, shall determine whether to transfer the employee to the Office of the State Treasurer; until this determination has been made, the transfer shall not take effect.

For all purposes with respect to the management of the existing agreement and the negotiation and management of any successor agreements, the State Treasurer shall be deemed to be the employer of employees who perform or will perform functions transferred to the Office of the State Treasurer by this amendatory Act of 1999.
