Impact
If passed, HJ00150 would directly impact how claims against the state are managed, particularly extending the timeframe in which the Claims Commissioner can adjudicate claims. This extension could potentially lead to a backlog in claims or delay resolutions for claimants waiting for decisions on claims against the state, as it adds an additional year to the already existing timeline for resolution.
Summary
House Joint Resolution No. 150 (HJ00150) is a resolution that seeks to grant an extension of time to the Claims Commissioner to dispose of a specific claim filed by Paul Ferri against the state. This resolution was introduced during the January Session of 2021 and referred to the Judiciary Committee. The crux of the resolution is to provide an additional one-year period for the Claims Commissioner from the date of final adoption of this resolution to resolve the pending claim, identified by file number 25235.
Contention
While HJ00150 does not appear to present major points of contention based on existing snippets or discussions, extensions of claims resolutions can sometimes raise concerns regarding efficiency and the ability of claimants to receive timely justice.
