SB98

Pennsylvania SB98 establishes rules for museums to handle unclaimed loaned property.

Pennsylvania SB98, the Museum Unclaimed Loaned Property Act, sets uniform rules for museums to manage property left in their custody for 20 years or more. The act requires museums to make reasonable efforts to contact lenders before terminating loans. It allows museums to apply conservation measures without lender permission if necessary to protect the property or public safety. The act also outlines procedures for returning or disposing of unclaimed property and addresses the museum's liability for injury or loss of loaned property.
