The resolution presented in Substitute House Joint Resolution No. 203, dated April 15, 2024, recommends the vacating of a decision made by the Claims Commissioner. The Claims Commissioner had previously dismissed a claim against the state filed by Joe Baltas, under file number 26252. The resolution instructs the Claims Commissioner to reverse the dismissal and instead, orders the immediate payment of $294.83 to Joe Baltas.
The fiscal impact statement attached to the resolution indicates that the payment will affect the state's General Fund, with a one-time cost of $295 in fiscal year 2025, and no fiscal impact in subsequent years. The resolution does not have any municipal impact. The Office of Legislative Research does not provide an analysis for resolutions, but the Judiciary Committee has given a joint favorable substitute recommendation with a unanimous vote of 35 to 0 in favor of the resolution on April 1, 2024.
