Resolution Granting The Claims Commissioner An Extension Of Time To Dispose Of The Claim Of Clifton Powell.
Impact
If passed, SJ00099 would affect the procedural timeline for handling claims against the state, allowing the Claims Commissioner to have a longer period to make determinations. This could impact how quickly claimants receive resolutions to their issues, as well as influence the state's management of legal matters and liabilities. Potentially, an extension could lead to more thorough investigations or assessments of claims, which could be beneficial in ensuring that decisions made are fair and well-considered.

SJ00099 is a resolution that seeks to grant the Claims Commissioner an extension of one year to dispose of the claim of Clifton Powell against the state. This claim is identified as file number 25490 and represents a legal matter involving potential financial or liability considerations for the state.

Contention
While the document does not provide explicit points of contention regarding SJ00099, resolutions like this can sometimes raise concerns about delays in the claims process.

Conversely, proponents may argue that due diligence requires adequate time to thoroughly assess claims, thus justifying the extension.
