Senate Joint Resolution No. 164, reported favorably by the Committee on Judiciary, recommends the adoption of a resolution to grant an award to Luis Ortiz for his claim against the state. The Claims Commissioner has assigned file number 26177 to this claim and has recommended an award of six thousand dollars, which is to be paid from the adjudicated claims account of the General Fund. The resolution orders the payment of this amount to Luis Ortiz.

The fiscal impact of the resolution is a one-time cost of $6,000 to the General Fund in fiscal year 2025, with no anticipated fiscal impact in subsequent years, as the award is a one-time payment. The Office of Legislative Research does not provide analysis for resolutions, but the Judiciary Committee has given a joint favorable vote with 35 yeas and no nays on April 1, 2024.
