Explanation
The bill extends the statute of limitation for bringing a civil action
for malicious prosecution and results in a potential cost to the Office of
the Comptroller Adjudicated Claims Account. In the event that this
extension results in a case that would previously not have been settled
or reach a judgement, the bill results in a potential cost to the state for
any monetary settlement that may result. Settlements and decisions
made against a state employee while performing his or her duties are
the responsibilities of the state and paid from the Office of the
Comptroller Adjudicated Claims Account.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to the number of new settlements.
