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 was reported favorably by the Judiciary Committee and is intended to address the financial repercussions of Jackson's wrongful conviction.

The fiscal impact of this resolution indicates 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 costs associated with this claim in future years, as it is a singular payment related to Jackson's successful claim against the state.
