trustees of the school district in which the school is situated. The principal,
teacher or person authorized by the bank or credit union to make collections
from the school children must be the agent of the bank or credit union to make
collections from the school children, and the bank or credit union is liable to

the bank or credit union.

of a school thrift or savings plan by an officer, employee or agent of a bank

1. If the rental due on a safe-deposit box
has not been paid for 90 days, the lessor may send a notice by registered or
certified mail to the last known address of the lessee stating that the
safe-deposit box will be opened and its contents stored at the expense of the
lessee unless payment of the rental is made within 30 days. If the rental is
not paid within 30 days after the mailing of the notice, the box may be opened
in the presence of any officer of the lessor and a notary public. The contents
must be sealed in a package by the notary public, who shall write on the

placed in the general vaults of the lessor at a rental not exceeding the rental
previously charged for the box, until such time that the contents will have
been unclaimed by the owner for more than 3 years, at which time the lessor
shall deliver the package to the State Treasurer in the State Treasurer’s
capacity as the Administrator of Unclaimed Property pursuant to the provisions
of chapter 120A of NRS.
