Substitute House Joint Resolution No. 175, reported favorably by the Judiciary Committee, proposes to vacate the decision of the Claims Commissioner that denied the claim against the state of Jesse Crystal. The resolution, if adopted, would remand the case back to the Claims Commissioner for a hearing on the merits of the claim. This action would allow Jesse Crystal to present their claim for reconsideration, potentially leading to a different outcome than the initial denial.

The fiscal impact of the resolution is contingent on the outcome of the claim's adjudication. If Jesse Crystal's claim is awarded, the cost to the state would be one-time and is not specified in the resolution. The General Fund could potentially incur costs under the Comptroller's Adjudicated Claims Account, but there would be no fiscal impact in the out years, as the claim payment would be a one-time event. The resolution does not have any municipal impact. The Office of Legislative Research does not provide analysis for resolutions, and thus no intent of the General Assembly is inferred from this document.
