§171. Periods of limitation
A. The expiration, before or after the effective date of this Chapter, of a period of limitation on the owner's right to receive or recover property, whether specified by contract, statute, or court order, does not preclude the property from being presumed abandoned or affect a duty to file a report or to pay or deliver or transfer property to the administrator as required by this Chapter.
B. An action or proceeding may not be maintained by the administrator to enforce this Chapter more than ten years after the holder specifically identified the property reported to the administrator or gave express notice to the administrator of a dispute regarding the property. In the absence of a report, the period of limitation is tolled. The period of limitation is also tolled by the filing of a report that is fraudulent.
C. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section or any other law to the contrary, an action or proceeding by the administrator to enforce the provisions of this Chapter shall not be maintained against a federally insured financial institution for any violation that occurred more than six years prior to the most recently completed auditable period which ends on June thirtieth of each year as provided by R.S. 9:159(D).
