The resolution, Substitute Senate Joint Resolution No. 43, addresses the claim of George Gould against the state for wrongful incarceration. It remands the decision made by the Claims Commissioner, which awarded Gould $6.7 million in compensation, back to the Office of the Claims Commissioner. This remand is for the purpose of determining Gould's eligibility to receive the compensation award in accordance with the relevant statutes.

The resolution has been reported favorably by the Judiciary Committee and does not have any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities at this time. The action taken by the General Assembly is procedural, ensuring that the claim is properly evaluated under the law before any compensation is finalized.
