The resolution, Substitute House Joint Resolution No. 53, addresses the claim of Andre Dawson against the state for wrongful incarceration. It remands the decision made by the Claims Commissioner, which awarded Dawson compensation of $1,107,356.76, back to the Office of the Claims Commissioner. The purpose of this remand is to determine Dawson's eligibility for the compensation award in accordance with the relevant statutes.

The resolution was reported favorably by the Judiciary Committee and does not have any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities at this time. The remand process is intended to ensure that the claim is properly evaluated under the applicable legal framework, without incurring additional costs to the state or local governments.
