The House Joint Resolution No. 51 confirms the Claims Commissioner's decision to award compensation to Marquis Jackson for wrongful incarceration. The resolution specifies that Jackson will receive a total of $5,312,921, which will be disbursed from the adjudicated claims account of the General Fund. This decision follows a favorable report from the Judiciary Committee, which unanimously supported the resolution.

The financial implications of this resolution indicate a one-time expenditure of $5,312,921 from the General Fund, specifically from the Comptroller's adjudicated claims account. There are no anticipated ongoing fiscal impacts in future years as this claim is singular in nature. The resolution reflects the legislative body's acknowledgment of the wrongful incarceration claim and the associated compensation awarded to Jackson.
