The resolution, Substitute House Joint Resolution No. 178, presented to the House of Representatives on April 16, 2024, by the Judiciary Committee, recommends the adoption of a resolution that confirms the decisions made by the Claims Commissioner to deny several claims against the state. Specifically, the resolution confirms the denial of claims filed by Thomas Champion (file number 26807), Rosa Lee Klaneski (file number 26609), Jane Doe (file number 26448), and Joseph Bernardo (file number 26365). The Judiciary Committee, through Representative Stafstrom of the 129th District, has reported favorably on the substitute joint resolution.

The fiscal impact statement and bill analysis accompanying the resolution indicate that confirming the Claims Commissioner's decisions to deny these claims will not result in any fiscal impact on the state or municipal budgets. The Office of Legislative Research does not analyze resolutions, but the Judiciary Committee has unanimously supported the substitute resolution with a vote of 35 yeas and 0 nays on April 1, 2024. The resolution, therefore, moves forward without any anticipated financial consequences for the state or municipalities.
