House Joint Resolution No. 58, introduced during the January Session of 2023 and referred to the Judiciary Committee, seeks to grant the Claims Commissioner an extension of time to resolve a specific claim. The claim in question is that of Edith Bell, who is the Administratrix of the Estate of Demarius J. Bell, and is identified by file number 25967 with the Claims Commissioner.
The resolution proposes that the Claims Commissioner be allowed an additional one-year period from the date of the final adoption of this resolution by the Assembly to address and dispose of Edith Bell's claim against the state. This extension is intended to provide the necessary time for the Claims Commissioner to thoroughly review and make a determination on the claim.
