The Substitute Senate Joint Resolution No. 7, reported by the Committee on Judiciary through Senator Winfield, extends the deadline for the Claims Commissioner to resolve a list of claims against the state until June 4, 2025. The resolution includes 42 individual claims, each identified by the claimant's name and file number. This procedural action allows the Claims Commissioner additional time to manage and conclude these matters, which are detailed in the resolution by file numbers and names of claimants such as Stephanie Lyons-Keeley, Wayne Keeley, Jose Ramos, and others.
The resolution received a Joint Favorable Substitute from the Judiciary Committee with a unanimous vote and indicates potential one-time costs to the state for any claim awards or settlements. The fiscal impact statement and bill analysis suggest no fiscal impact beyond the resolution's timeframe, and the Office of Legislative Research does not analyze resolutions. The document focuses on the administrative extension of deadlines and does not provide specifics about the nature of the claims.
