The resolution presented in Substitute House Joint Resolution No. 80 concerns the vacating of a decision made by the Claims Commissioner to deny a claim against the state of Zwinda Soto, PPA Jesus Rivera. The resolution, reported favorably by the Judiciary Committee, proposes that the Claims Commissioner's decision, identified by file number 23945, be vacated due to the commissioner's application of the law and findings of fact being deemed clearly erroneous, specifically regarding the supervision of the claimant during a carpentry class at Bullard-Havens Technical High School. The General Assembly has resolved to remand the claim for a rehearing on the merits of the case, as per subsection (b) of section 4-159 of the general statutes.

The fiscal impact of the resolution is noted as a potential cost to the state, contingent on the outcome of the rehearing of the claim. The fiscal note from the Office of Fiscal Analysis indicates that the cost would be one-time in nature, with no anticipated impact on future fiscal years. The resolution does not have any municipal impact. The Office of Legislative Research does not analyze resolutions, but the Judiciary Committee has given a joint favorable substitute with a unanimous vote in favor of the resolution.
