Resolution Granting The Claims Commissioner An Extension Of Time To Dispose Of The Claim Of Kevin Cornelison.

Impact

If passed, this resolution would formalize a one-year extension for the Claims Commissioner, ensuring that the specific claim from Cornelison, labeled with file number 24809, receives adequate attention and thorough processing. This is indicative of the state’s commitment to handling claims in an orderly manner, providing an opportunity to reach resolutions that are satisfactory to both the claimant and the state. The extension could potentially affect the timeliness of future claims as resources may need to be allocated differently during this additional year.

Summary

House Joint Resolution No. 124, introduced during the January Session of 2021, seeks to grant the Claims Commissioner an extension of one year to dispose of a claim filed by Kevin Cornelison. This resolution is pertinent to cases where the Claims Commissioner is responsible for reviewing and settling claims against the state, thus allowing for additional time to process claims that may have complexities or require further investigation. The resolution is a legal procedural mechanism aimed at ensuring that due process is maintained in handling claims presented to the state.

Contention

There could be various perspectives regarding the necessity of extending the time for claims resolution. Supporters may argue that complexities within significant claims, such as those involving public entities or state responsibilities, warrant careful examination and cannot be rushed. Conversely, detractors may express concerns that extensions could lead to delays in justice for claimants or become a means to defer resolution unnecessarily, which might affect public trust in state processes. The bill thus carries implications for the Claim Commissioner's operational procedures and the overall efficiency of claims processing.
