Impact

If adopted, HJ00026 will directly affect the handling of claims against the state, specifically extending the allowable time for resolving claims such as that of Jose Vasquez. This can have wider implications by providing the Claims Commissioner more time to review claims thoroughly, potentially leading to more just outcomes. However, it also signifies that the claim was not resolved within the initially stipulated time frame, which may raise questions about the efficiency of the claims process.

Specifically, the resolution seeks to add one year to the time allowed for the Claims Commissioner to carry out the disposal of this particular claim.
