Come explore the possibilities and implications of the OCC proposal.

Updating the Unclaimed Property Act: Needed or Anti-Consumer?
Recently, the Uniform Law Commission approved a revised version of their Uniform Unclaimed Property Act. The revisions have raised concerns from certain state treasurers, unclaimed property administrators, and consumer advocates who consider the changes to be anti-consumer. As states will be asked to adopt the revisions in their upcoming sessions, this session will discuss the revised model act and whether or not it is in the interest of states to update their laws.
Moderator:
- Senator Wayne Harper, Utah
Speakers:
- Treasurer Michael Frerichs, Illinois

Regulating Autonomous Vehicles – The Role of States and the Federal Government
Co-sponsored with the Natural Resources and Infrastructure Committee
A new transportation world is on the horizon where autonomous vehicles are potentially an everyday presence. With the ability to drastically reduce, if not eliminate, traffic fatalities, new partnerships between states, the federal government and the automobile industry can pave the way for this radically different mode of travel.

Join us for an in-depth discussion on the likely next steps including testing, deployment, insurance and safety for this game-changing technology.
Panelists:
- Nathaniel Beuse, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Washington, D.C.
- Catherine Curtis, American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, Virginia
